Billie Winner-Davis, Reality Winner's mother, told Business Insider on Tuesday that President Donald Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, is attempting legal representation to aid the former Air Force language analyst contractor and Kingsville native Reality Winner with her case.
Winner pleaded guilty in 2018 to leaking classified National Security Agency information on Russia's alleged efforts to interfere with the 2016 election. She was found guilty of violating the U.S. Espionage Act and sentenced to five years in prison at the Federal Medical Center-Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas.
In 2016 following her separation from six years of active duty, Winner was hired by Pluribus International Corporation under an NSA contract to work out of Fort Gordon, Georgia.
According to ABC News, Winner printed a classified report detailing how Russian hackers allegedly “executed cyber espionage operations” on local election systems and mailed the documents to The Intercept.
She was arrested on June 3, 2017.
Amazing! Thank you. My daughter Reality Leigh Winner is yet another victim of this admin. Doing hard time for bringing the truth to light. #FreeRealityWinnerhttps://t.co/wU0sg3LeRs
Michael Cohen, who pleaded guilty to campaign violations and tax fraud in 2018, began serving his sentence in May 2019 at the federal penitentiary in Otisville, New York.
He has been under house arrest since July over coronavirus concerns.
Military.com stated that Reality’s mother sent a Twitter message that said “Cohen has asked another attorney to look at the case and for opportunities to help.”

253 Websites Investigated By Microsoft They Found ...
November 24, 2006
According to reports, as part of its Global Phishing Enforcement Program Microsoft has filed nearly 129 lawsuits across Europe and the Middle East against individuals creating fake Web pages for Hotmail and MSN. Under this program, which was launched in March this year, a total of 253 Web sites have been investigated. Out of the 129 lawsuits, 97 are criminal complaints filed in cooperation with local authorities. Amongst the countries that faced the Microsoft scanner, Turkey was at the top of the list with 50 criminal complaints, followed by Germany with 28, and France by 11.
The case trials have already begun in Turkey, where in one of the cases, the phisher has been sentenced to two and a half years of imprisonment. In four other cases, settlements have been made out-of-court. Microsoft has arrested four phishers in the age group of 16 to 20 in France. These guys have been slapped with a fine of $2,564 as an out of court settlement. In these cases, it was found that most fake Web pages had been created with the intention of getting peers to disclose their log-in identities. The links of the fake pages had been sent via instant messaging.
