CALIFORNIA – Hustler Magazine publisher Larry Flynt has accused John Bolton, Bush’s nominee to a vacant UN post, of forcing his first wife to engage in group sex in 1982. According to Hustler, Flynt has made numerous attempts to get a statement in response to the allegations from the State Department, but so far his inquiries have gone unanswered. The State Department has also refused to hand over additional documents to Democrats who are investigating Bolton’s fitness for the post. Bolton’s nomination comes up for vote tomorrow.“Corroborated allegations that Mr. Bolton’s first wife, Christina Bolton, was forced to engage in group sex have not been refuted by the State Department despite inquires posed by Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt concerning the allegations,” read a statement from Hustler.

Flynt claims that court records relating to Bolton’s divorce document the accusations against Bolton.

“The court records alone provide sufficient basis for further investigation of nominee Bolton by the Senate,” said Flynt.

According to Flynt, evidence suggests that Christina Bolton fled from her husband, John Bolton, out of fear for her safety.

“First wife Christina Bolton has understandably remained silent on what led her to flee her husband of 10 years and to take the family belonging with hers. A full inquiry would necessarily involve meetings with Mrs. Bolton to uncover the circumstances of her flight and the Committee should subpoena her in private session,” Flynt said.

An entry on a conservative website, RedState.org, has attacked Mr. Flynt for the allegations against Bolton, although it offered no dispute of the charges.

“It seems that Larry Flynt, the go-to guy for the Democrats when they have desperate slime to squirt that not even Biden would be seen with, has obtained John Bolton’s divorce records and is squirting the slime all over the stage,” posted somebody by the name of Nick Danger.

Yet controversy has followed Bolton throughout the nomination process. Questions have been raised about whether Bolton was connected to a suspicious death of a State Department official in 2003.

“Now that Bolton has been nominated for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and we have learned through Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings that Bolton was verbally and physically abusive to his colleagues over the past several years, it is time to take a close look at some violent deaths of State Department and CIA officials who tangled with the Bush administration over Iraq policy,” wrote contributing writer Wayne Madsen of the Online Journal.
