Violation of the Espionage Act. This material is classified, highly. Breaking that classification by publishing it online for our enemies to see, in this case, Iran, is a question of loyalty. Anyone who has been trained to have access to classified information knows this. It's why Bradley Manning got court martialed and tossed in jail for leaking classified info to WikiLeaks, for example. It's also why they pushed that narrative so hard with Trump, hoping to disqualify him from running if they could get a conviction to stick.
Edit: As with any claim though, if it's coming from a member of this maladministration or it's being "reported" by some Twitter sensationalist Paytriot who's making money off of engagement, maintain skepticism. Even if the report is genuine, the official is innocent until proven guilty, and has yet to even be charged, let alone indicted by a grand jury, tried, or convicted. This is quite literally weapons-grade rumormongering at this point. And it's being done because Israel is big mad that their nukes were officially confirmed and that their plans to bomb Iran and start WW3, dragging us into a 1400-year-old Middle East blood feud now have to be redrawn and rethought.
I'm pretty sure that there has to be more to it than that to catch a treason charge.
While it's obviously illegal, it doesn't necessarily harm or threaten to harm the US for Iran to receive classified material on Israel.
There have only been a few dozen treason charges in the entire history of our country.
If espionage was all it took to qualify to be charged with treason, then there would be many, many more cases.
The word "treason" gets thrown around here so often that it's basically meaningless now.
I just wanted to add how great I think it is that you brought this up. Sincerely.
Too many people are way too fast on believing everything they see posted online. Even here, where everyone should really know better.
So, I'm going to go put a hat on, just to say "Hats off to you, good Anon!" 😁
