Gates was also criticized President Joe Biden for not speaking out against the pending indictment, accusing him of encouraging stalking with his rhetoric against Republicans.
“He functionally threw away this indictment by saying that radical MAGA Republicans were dangerous,” Gates told Ingraham.
He added that the Chinese Communist Party could give money to various members of the Biden family over the years, but that these payments could not be made to Stormy Daniels “to resolve a legal dispute.”
“They will have to prove that Donald Trump would have no reason, other than the election, to try to solve this problem with Stormy Daniels in private and out of the public sphere,” he said.
