California Professor John Blasey Bolton has accused Congressman Matt Gaetz of sexually assaulting him at a party in the 1980s. This follows closely President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Gaetz as Attorney General.

According to Bolton, the alleged assault took place at a wild party in the heart of Washington D.C. during the height of the Reagan administration. He claims that Gaetz, who was a young congressional aide at the time, cornered him in a dimly lit room and proceeded to grope and forcibly kiss him. 

“I was just a young, impressionable government official, and Matt Gaetz took advantage of me,” said Bolton during a press conference. “I was scared and didn’t know what to do, but I refuse to let him get away with this. I’m speaking out now to make sure that no one else has to go through what I did.” 

Gaetz has vehemently denied the allegations, calling them “absurd” and “baseless.” He claims that he has no memory of ever meeting Bolton, let alone assaulting him at a party. 

“This is nothing more than a political smear campaign,” said Gaetz in a statement. “I have dedicated my entire career to serving my country and upholding the highest standards of integrity. I will not let these false accusations ruin my reputation.” 

As the nation continues to grapple with this latest development, it remains to be seen how the allegations against Gaetz will impact the political landscape. One thing is certain, though: the story of John Bolton’s alleged sexual assault by Matt Gaetz has quickly become the talk of the town, and not in a way they likely intended.
