"You said earlier today that the new Supreme Leader of the Taliban committee - you don't know if he's dead or alive. There are a couple of interesting reports about him today. There's one report that he just narrowly escaped death in the first air strikes by stepping out into his garden. There's another report that he may actually be gay, despite leading the theocracy that hangs gay people."
"Trump couldn't contain his surprise and laughed aloud when he was briefed on the intel. Nelson said that the sources told him that others in the room found the report hilarious as well and that one person, identified as a senior intelligence official, has not stopped laughing about it for days."
"Nelson was attempting to confirm a story he published in the Post earlier that day based on unnamed sources that claimed that Mojtaba Khameinei is gay and that his father didn't want him to lead the Islamic Republic because of his sexuality."
New York Post reporter Steve Nelson questioned President Trump about reports concerning Mojtaba Khamenei, allegedly Iran's new supreme leader. Nelson asked Trump whether he had been briefed on claims about Khamenei's homosexuality, contrasting this with reports that he may have narrowly escaped death in airstrikes. Trump refused to confirm either report and instead discussed various topics related to the conflict with Iran and the previous Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Nelson had published a story earlier that day citing unnamed sources claiming Mojtaba Khamenei is gay and that his father opposed his leadership due to his sexuality. According to Nelson's reporting, Trump laughed when briefed on the intelligence, and others in the room found the report amusing.
