https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-15941367/Spy-chiefs-revolt-Trump-demand-master-list-secret-agent-fearing-one-catastrophic-risk.htmlCIA and FBI leaders are resisting Donald Trump's mandate that intelligence agencies compile a master list of every US spy and potential recruit, amid fears it could endanger their own agents.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), first under Tulsi Gabbard and now under new director Bill Pulte, has in recent months spearheaded the grand spy list effort. ODNI was created in the aftermath of 9/11 to foster better communication among intel agencies.
Trump wants the master list because officials claim it could used to better track foreign intelligence threats and avoid inadvertent conflicts when different agencies are working the same targets, according to the New York Times.
The effort has been largely unsuccessful, as senior counterintelligence officials have refused to hand over their master lists amid disagreements over how such a database would be secured and maintained.
For the FBI, such a master list of espionage targets would include those the bureau wants to investigate and potentially arrest down the line.
For the CIA, it would include a significant number of potential individuals the agency hopes to recruit as assets.
Some current and former intelligence officials fear that putting identifying details on the most sensitive cases could fatally compromise long-running investigations and operations via a single leak.
The identities of these targets are closely guarded national security secrets, insulated from most personnel within their own agencies.
