According to Harry's Diary, Malcolm has been working at Section D since before Harry became the boss, so if Vaughn was involved in this business from fifteen years ago, then Malcolm would also know about it. Maybe the Albany file originates from the same period. If Lucas was actually 'John' during this time, then he would not necessarily know how the real Lucas North fits in with it all. By going to Malcolm to ask for the file, he has immediately given Malcolm a clue that he is not acting honestly.

I wonder how John came to be Lucas - was it Harry who brought that about, or was it Vaughn, or was it both of them? Earlier in the series Vaughn asked Lucas if he had told Harry, so I would say they certainly know each other.

Am I making sense? because my head is starting to hurt!

That begs the question of if Vaughn is not the bad guy, then why the hell is he forcing Lucas down this path of being a traitor? What would be the purpose of ruining the mental stability of a good agent who was functioning perfectly fine before he showed up? It just doesn't make sense if this is suppose to test Lucas's integrity, I mean, seriously, isn't this taking a "test" a bit too far? If Vaughn is working with Malcolm, then why even send Lucas there in the first place? That's just a whole slew of other hard-to-believe scenarios popping up.

Oh now my head is hurting! This is getting too complicated! I'm just gonna stick to Vaughn being evil!
