Multiple reports say CIA and FBI leaders are pushing back against a Donald Trump mandate requiring U.S. intelligence agencies to compile a comprehensive “master list” of every secret agent and potential recruit. According to the accounts, the intelligence chiefs argue that such a centralized list could create significant operational and personal security risks for current and future sources. The reported concern is that consolidating identities and recruitment targets into a single database could increase the impact of any breach, compromise, or unauthorized access. The sources characterize the issue as an internal dispute over how intelligence information is managed and shared, with agency leadership reportedly resisting the scope of the request. The available reporting focuses on the resistance from agency chiefs and their stated fears that the policy could “endanger” agents. No additional details are provided in the supplied material about timelines, specific implementation plans, or whether the mandate has been formally changed. The reports portray the development as an intelligence-management challenge rather than a publicly documented policy outcome.
