Trump confirms CIA told him Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is gay
President Trump confirmed during a Fox News appearance that the CIA briefed him about Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei's sexual orientation. Trump stated this information puts Khamenei at a disadvantage in Iran, where same-sex activity is punishable by death. The New York Post had previously reported this CIA briefing earlier in the month.
