I am thinking there could be an idiom that states that you or someone revealed a secret unintentionally? Can you think of an idiom like that?

Yes, there are a number which imply "by accident":
Mike Pompeo let slip some of the CIA's secrets.
Mike Pompeo spilled some of the CIA's secrets.
Mike Pompeo let out some of the CIA's secrets.
Mike Pompeo blabbed some of the CIA's secrets.
Mike Pompeo gave away some of the CIA's secrets.
Mike Pompeo blurted out some of the CIA's secrets.
If you want to be clear, you can always specify that the action was unintentional:
Mike Pompeo unwittingly spilled the beans on some of the CIA's secrets.
Mike Pompeo inadvertently let the cat out of the bag on some of the CIA's secrets.
There are others that mean "reveal", but you need to specify whether this was intentional or unintentional: divulge, disclose, leak, expose, confess etc.
Mike Pompeo unintentionally divulged some of the CIA's secrets.
Mike Pompeo accidentally leaked some of the CIA's secrets.
and so on.

Blabbed seems the closest to what OP is driving at. I'm assuming this is a hit-piece on Pompeo rather than something more nuanced.
