I can't imagine how betrayed the intelligence must feel that passed on the information to an alleged friend. I guess comes warning of the next terror threat, they might not do so any longer.

but it does.

As far as I know, he's not legally bound not to divulge military information from other countries/source. If it directly places US troops in harm's way, he would be. But without knowing what the info was (I'm not Russian, so obviously I'm going to be out of the loop on what the US is doing), if Trump was just giving up some other country's information, then he likely is legally in the clear.
