When stating the use case, just say that one of the participants in a
CLUE channel (including the gateway) may choose to share the content (or
the existence of the channel - I can't tell which you mean by "report"
here) with a third party.

There are lots of reasons why someone may choose to do that, including,
for instance, the requirement for recording financial advice given over
the phone in many countries, and calling out legal intercept is just
going to generate lots of heat but little light.
