I don't know if I know the rules of skepticism. Not sure if I'd care either.

I would bet money that they are. The press had been using "her partner" in various ways. Now that can be a term unrelated to a romantic relationship, but it's also commonly used to describe gay or lesbian lovers.

Not necessarily. This is not a trial and there is no apparent crime. There are no subpoenas, search warrants, oaths to tell the truth, cross examinations, perjury or contempt of court charges, etc.

We may not ever be told the real truths because nobody is being forced or compelled to tell them.
