The funny thing is that Trump as POTUS can never reveal classified intelligence because as POTUS he can declassify anything he chooses. Even if he reveals classified info unintentionally, that disclosure is implicitly declassified. He is exempted from being charged under the Espionage Act.
The rationale for this is that a President has to be able to reveal classified information where circumstances warrant it without needing to submit to Congressional or judicial oversight. No doubt, though, the expectation is that such disclosures would only be made after careful thought and for compelling reasons.
