They might be in trouble (possibly) for sharing information like that with you. But I believe that would be the extent of it.
They were the ones that were responsible for controlling the release of the information. Because you forwarded it to someone else doesn't put any liability on yourself.
If damages were to be assessed, it would be when the email was forwarded to you. Not when you forwarded it to him.
But don't quote me on this... I'm not an attorney.
