18 U.S. Code 1905 - Disclosure of confidential information generally

... shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and shall be removed from office or employment.

Separate laws cover the disclosure of classified information.

General point being, "classified" is not a prerequsite for a leak to be a crime.

CLASSIFIED is not a prerequisite for a leak to be a crime, but what is leaked must be TRUE in order for the leak to be a crime.
