It is possible. It depends on the circumstances. How did he find out? Did he have a duty not to disclose the fact? Was the fact part of an already public record? Under what circumstances did he disclose the information? Did he have a duty to disclose the information?
In order for me to give you a better answer you will need to provide at least a short synopsis of what happened without being too specific.
Good Luck.
