It was NOT declassified. He leaked a secret. WH spin does not deny it was a secret.

As far as I'm concerned no one can make excuses at all for 45 ... he's a traitor and if the R's in Congress refuse to take action they are guilty of collusion with the enemy.

White House spin says tRump did not reveal sources or methods, as if that is the whole story. They do not deny he revealed a secret; they just carefully do not talk about that aspect.
Clever adverserial intelligence services (they are paid to be clever) can figure out sources and from the actual intelligence.
Further, tRump does NOT have the power to declassify anything on a whim or a moment's notice. He has to request it in writing and it has to go through a procedure.

Also, this story has now been confirmed to Reuters by two US Officials.
