华盛顿6月2日路透电 据知情人士透露，美国中央情报局（CIA）已停止向国家最高间谍办公室出具的部分情报评估报告供稿，其中包括与伊朗战事相关的评估。随着情报共享和职责范围争端愈演愈烈，双方矛盾已公开化。
一名美国官员及三名直接了解此事的人士表示，中情局与国家情报总监办公室（ODNI）之间的内斗已持续一年多，扰乱了国家安全分析报告的协作工作——而总统长期以来一直依赖这些报告来应对复杂的海外挑战。

消息人士称，争端的核心是2025年4月由国家情报总监图尔西·加巴德设立的一个特别工作组引发的冲突。
两名知情人士透露，由约翰·拉特克利夫领导的中情局认为，加巴德的局长倡议小组不顾传统情报共享和解密程序，行事鲁莽。而国家情报总监办公室的官员则表示，中情局一直阻挠该小组获取情报。
在美国政府面临严峻国家安全挑战的关键时刻，各情报机构之间的协作陷入僵局。目前美国正深陷伊朗冲突，同时还要应对中国军事扩张、俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争等国家安全难题。
这也表明，2001年9月11日事件后推出的改革措施并未终结情报体系的 dysfunction——该改革设立了国家情报总监一职，负责协调美国18个情报机构。
“国家情报总监办公室本应是整个体系的润滑剂，确保情报界的血脉畅通无阻，清除阻塞，”曾在唐纳德·特朗普总统第一任期担任国家情报副总监的贝丝·桑纳说道。
“如果无法做到这一点，各机构就会各自为政，最终可能导致情报失误。”
除了国家情报总监办公室出具的评估报告外，中情局还有其他渠道可以确保其情报（包括关于伊朗的情报）送达总统及其他政策制定者手中。这些情报是总统每日简报的重要组成部分，而该简报是为总统准备的高度机密每日情报汇编。
加巴德上周宣布，将于6月30日辞去特朗普政府最高间谍官员一职，理由是其丈夫患病。特朗普周二表示，将任命联邦住房金融局局长比尔·普尔特担任代理国家情报总监。
国家情报总监办公室发言人奥利维亚·科尔曼表示，“总统和政策制定者仍能从各情报机构获得最佳情报和分析”，并补充称，国家情报总监办公室及其监管的机构“与中情局 counterparts 在全谱系情报产品和行动方面每日都保持沟通与协作”。
科尔曼还表示，局长倡议小组“在国家情报总监办公室的监管权限内运作，支持总统的行政命令”。
路透社今年2月曾报道称，在国会对其活动进行审查之际，加巴德已解散该小组，并将其人员重新分配到该机构的其他部门。
“在拉特克利夫局长的领导下，中情局迅速落实特朗普总统的优先事项，以更积极的姿态明智地承担风险，挫败我们的对手，为美国赢得决定性优势，”中情局公共事务主任莉兹·莱昂斯说道。
白宫发言人戴维斯·英格尔表示，特朗普的“以实力求和平”外交政策是久经考验的可靠方针，能够保障美国安全并威慑全球威胁，而试图制造内部分裂的媒体炒作终将失败。
“特朗普总统对他整个卓越的国家安全团队充满信心，”英格尔说道。
情报评估合作大幅减少
中情局大幅缩减向加巴德办公室出具评估报告的做法，是双方互不信任最严重的后果之一。
中情局一直是美国国家情报委员会（NIC）所出具报告的主要供稿方之一——该委员会是美国顶尖的情报分析机构。这些报告具有重要影响力，尤其是在战争期间。
两名直接了解此事的消息人士称，关于伊朗的评估报告（自2月以来美国军方一直在伊朗作战）是中情局不再定期参与的评估类型之一。
消息人士表示，中情局和国家情报总监办公室目前基本各自为政，分别开展分析工作。
消息人士称，去年曾有一段时间，由于两机构之间的摩擦，中情局停止在其控制的内部情报社区分发服务平台上发布国家情报委员会的报告，短暂限制了这些分析产品的获取渠道。
一名美国官员表示，这些报告仅因“处理问题”被扣留了“几个小时”。
四名消息人士称，此次跨机构摩擦始于加巴德2025年2月就职后不久。
她上任后的首批行动之一，就是加强对总统每日简报编制工作的管控，而中情局长期以来一直主导该简报的编制工作。
据消息人士透露，随着“根除”情报界所谓政治化问题的局长倡议小组的成立，双方关系进一步恶化。
该小组还致力于解密与前总统约翰·F·肯尼迪遇刺案相关的文件，调查选举投票机的安全性以及新冠疫情的起源。
包括一些前情报官员在内的批评者指责，该小组的设立是为了报复特朗普眼中的政治对手。
据两名知情人士透露，小组成员曾多次敦促中情局分享完成国家情报总监办公室指派的调查所需的情报和材料，但认为中情局提供的内容不足。
中情局官员被解职
2025年5月，加巴德解除了两名领导国家情报委员会的资深中情局官员的职务。
一名要求匿名讨论内部政府事务的情报官员表示，国家情报总监办公室将两人解职“原因是他们造成了恶劣的工作环境，员工调查记录可证，且他们有将情报政治化的历史”。
该官员未提供证据证实这些说法。
同年8月，加巴德撤销了37名现任和前任官员的安全许可，期间还曝光了一名在海外服役的 undercover 中情局特工的身份。
加巴德指控这37人将情报政治化并泄露情报，但未提供证据。
前官员和其他人士指责，此举部分是为了报复2017年的一份情报评估报告——该报告称俄罗斯曾利用大规模影响力操作，帮助特朗普赢得2016年总统大选。
上个月，一名被派往局长倡议小组的中情局官员在参议院听证会上表示，中情局阻挠该小组获取关于新冠疫情起源的情报，这一事件使中情局与国家情报总监办公室的紧张关系公开化。
两名了解该调查的人士表示，这场争端已引发情报界监察长办公室的调查——该办公室是隶属于国家情报总监办公室的独立监督机构。
路透社无法确定此次调查的范围。
Exclusive: Top US spy agencies feud over turf, mission
2026-06-02T16:38:52.003Z / reuters.com
WASHINGTON, June 2 (Reuters) – The CIA has stopped contributing to some intelligence assessments, including those related to the Iran war, produced by the office of the nation’s top spy as disputes over intelligence-sharing and areas of responsibility boil over, say people familiar with the matter.
The infighting between the CIA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) has flared for more than a year, disrupting collaboration on national security analyses on which presidents long have relied to navigate complex foreign challenges, said a U.S. official and three people with direct knowledge of the matter.

The sources spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal matters.
At the heart of the disagreements is a clash over a task force set up in April 2025 by Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, the sources said.
The CIA, led by Director John Ratcliffe, contends that Gabbard’s Director’s Initiatives Group has acted recklessly by circumventing traditional intelligence-sharing and declassification protocols, said two of the people. ODNI officials say the CIA has consistently blocked the group’s access to intelligence.
The breakdown in collaboration between intelligence agencies comes at a perilous time for the Trump administration, with the U.S. embroiled in the Iran conflict and grappling with national security challenges ranging from Chinese military expansion to Russia’s war on Ukraine.
It also suggests that the post-September 11, 2001, reforms, which created a director of national intelligence to coordinate the 18 U.S. intelligence agencies, have not ended dysfunction.
“ODNI is supposed to be the oil in the system that keeps the arteries of the intelligence community flowing, that removes blockages,” said Beth Sanner, a former deputy director of national intelligence during President Donald Trump’s first term.
“When you’re not doing that, then you set up the potential that agencies are just going to kind of pull back into their stove pipes and you set yourself up for intelligence failures.”
Beyond assessments produced by ODNI, the CIA has other avenues for ensuring its intelligence, including on Iran, reaches the president and other policymakers. The intelligence forms a large part of the Presidential Daily Brief, the highly classified daily compendium of intelligence reports prepared for the president.
Gabbard said last week that she will step down as Trump’s top spy on June 30, citing her husband’s illness. Trump said on Tuesday he was appointing Federal Housing Finance Agency chief Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence.
“The president and policymakers continue to receive the best intelligence and analysis” from the intelligence agencies, said Olivia Coleman, an ODNI spokeswoman, adding that ODNI and the agencies it oversees “communicate and collaborate daily with CIA counterparts across the full spectrum of intelligence products and operations.”
The Director’s Initiatives Group “operated within ODNI’s oversight authorities and in support of the president’s executive orders,” Coleman said.
Reuters in February reported that Gabbard had wound down the group and reassigned its personnel elsewhere in her agency amid congressional scrutiny of its activities.
“Under Director Ratcliffe, CIA quickly moved out on President Trump’s priorities with a more aggressive agency taking smart risks to outmaneuver our adversaries and give the United States a decisive advantage,” CIA Director of Public Affairs Liz Lyons said.
White House spokesman Davis Ingle said Trump’s “peace through strength foreign policy is a tried-and-true approach that keeps America safe and deters global threats,” and media efforts to sow internal division would fail.
“President Trump has full confidence in his entire exceptional national security team,” Ingle said.
LESS COOPERATION ON INTELLIGENCE ASSESSMENTS
The CIA’s move to significantly pare back its contributions to assessments produced by Gabbard’s office is one of the most serious consequences of the agencies’ mutual distrust.
The CIA has been one of the main contributors to the reports produced by the National Intelligence Council (NIC), the premier U.S. intelligence analytical body. The reports carry weight, especially during a war.
Two of the sources with direct knowledge of the matter said that assessments about Iran — where the U.S. military has been fighting since February — are among those the agency no longer regularly participates in.
The CIA and ODNI now operate largely as two separate analytical operations, the sources said.
At one point last year, the CIA, in response to friction between the two agencies, stopped publishing NIC reports on the internal intelligence community distribution service it controls, briefly limiting the accessibility of the analytical products, the sources said.
A U.S. official said the reports were only withheld for “a few hours” as a result of a “processing issue.”
The interagency friction started soon after Gabbard assumed her post in February 2025, the four sources said.
Among her first acts was to assert tighter control over production of the Presidential Daily Brief, the sources said. The CIA long had taken a lead role in compiling the brief.
The relationship soured further with the creation of the Director’s Initiatives Group to “root out” alleged politicization of the intelligence community, according to the sources.
The group also worked to declassify documents related to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy, as well as investigate the security of election voting machines and the origins of COVID-19.
Critics, including some former intelligence officials, charge that the group was established as a tool to exact retribution against Trump’s perceived political foes.
Task force members at several points pushed the CIA to share intelligence and materials needed to complete ODNI-assigned probes, but believed not enough was provided, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.
OUSTER OF CIA OFFICERS
In May 2025, Gabbard ousted two senior CIA officers who led the NIC.
An intelligence official speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss internal government matters said the ODNI removed the two “because they created a toxic work environment, as documented in a workforce survey, and because they had a history of politicizing intelligence.”
The official did not provide evidence to substantiate those claims.
Then in August, Gabbard stripped the security clearances of 37 current and former officials, in the process revealing the identity of an undercover CIA officer serving overseas.
Gabbard charged that the 37 had politicized and leaked intelligence, but did not offer proof.
Former officials and others charged that the move was in part in retaliation for a 2017 intelligence assessment that Russia had used an extensive influence operation to sway the 2016 presidential vote to Trump.
The CIA-ODNI tensions spilled into public view last month when a CIA officer detailed to the Director’s Initiatives Group said to a Senate panel that the agency blocked the group’s access to intelligence on the origins of COVID-19.
That dispute has triggered an investigation by the intelligence community inspector general’s office, an independent watchdog housed at ODNI, said two people with knowledge of the probe.
Reuters could not determine the scope of the probe.
