I sort of feel like the CIA should already have a file on him filed to the brim with juicy nuggets they haven't really been able to act on until now.
You're talking about the NSA. The CIA totally doesn't do that.
Sure, cia, sure
Why not both? CIA's files probably focus more on his foreign dealings, the NSA's more on his national dealings.
You mean "their" files.
No doubt various TLAs have compiled dossiers on various very important people. It would be irresponsible of them not to. People who have so much power and access are intrinsic security threats, and that's no secret to the spy agencies.
Of course they might frame it differently. They might say that they compile information so that they can make sure that the powerful person doesn't get blackmailed, for example. It's easy to try to phrase things in a way that suggests you're protecting them, when the actual theoretical goal is protecting us from what they could do if things went sideways.
