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.”

Google announces Gmail for mobile phones
November 02, 2006
SAN FRANCISCO - Google Inc. has released a downloadable version of its e-mail client GMail for mobile phones. The Mountain View, Calif-based company already has its search customized for the mobile user, but the email client was not yet on the small screens. The free software for GMail is available only in the US at the moment and is compatible with more than 300 cell phones. Users can download the software by pointing the Web browser at http://gmail.com/app or by simply sending a text message containing the software to their phone from a PC. However ads will not be present on the mobile Gmail unlike its search counterpart. We want to provide relevance and targeted ads, but with a cell phone's small screen and all that, it's tricky, explained Tony Hsieh, product manager with Google's mobile unit. "Because it is an application and not running through a browser ... it looks and feels like Gmail on the desktop."
The new service called Gmail for mobile retains many of the features available on PCs and is accompanied by automatic synchronization so that any emails read on the phone show up as already read when you switch on your PC.
Phones from Sprint Nextel Corp., T-Mobile and Cingular will carry the service, while Google plans to expand it to other countries and languages over time. It may be noted that the handsets need to be able to run Java software in order to read Gmail.
Any attachments like Word of PDF files are instantly viewable on the phone and are resized to fit the screen, Google said.

"There are estimates that by the end of the term of this administration, they will have lost more jobs than almost any other presidential administration."
