Actually Robert Bork, and I misremembered : not actually compromising, but worse, a reporter being a smart Alec. Bork had asserted that there was no right to privacy so a reporter set out to demonstrate that invading his privacy would upset him.

Bork was an originalist so I doubt invading his privacy would change his stance. Kind of a dumb move by the reporter.
Except that it worked...
It's great when sanctimonious fools like Bork are hoist by their own petard.
