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.”

Applications That Steal Your Focus
December 31, 2006
Don't Lose Your Focus
The Annoyance: So there you are, minding your own business, typing a document, email, or instant message on your computer. You glance away from the screen for a moment. When you look back, you realize you have not really entered your last lines of text. Without your knowledge, a new window or dialog box has popped up, and some of your text has been entered there or nowhere.
Applications that steal your PC's focus are more than just annoying: They can be disastrous if the focus stealing dialog box asks to perform a potentially harmful operation and you happen to press or type y, which the dialog takes as a yes before you even see the request. You may also have dismissed an important scheduling alert without realizing it.
Fix: No bulletproof solution exists, but the following may help you maintain your focus in Windows XP and 2000.
If it is not already on your system, download and install Microsoft's free Tweak UI utility. In Windows XP, open Tweak UI (either by clicking its shortcut on the Start menu or by choosing Start, Run, typing tweakui, and pressing ), and use the tree pane on the left to navigate to General, Focus. In Windows 2000, double click the Tweak UI icon in Control Panel and click the General tab. In both versions, make sure Prevent applications from stealing focus is checked. You can also specify whether the taskbar button should flash (and how many times) when the would be focus grabber wants your attention. Click OK.
Some Tweak UI settings get changed back when a program subsequently modifies the Registry. To make sure the focus lock is in effect every time you start Windows, start Notepad or another text editor. On the first line, type Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 and press twice. Type [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] and press . Finally, type "ForegroundLockTimeout"=dword:00030d40 (no spaces) and press . Select File, Save As, name the file with the .reg extension (for example, focus.reg), and save it to a location of your choice. Make a note of the path to the file.
Next, choose Start, Programs (or All Programs), right-click the Startup menu, and choose Open. In an empty area of the Startup folder, right-click and choose New, Shortcut. In the Create Shortcut wizard, browse to your .reg file, select it, and click OK. Place quotes before and after the entry, and then press . Type regedit.exe /s followed by a space in front of the first quotation mark in your entry. When completed, the entry should read something like this: regedit.exe /s "C:\Registry files\focus.reg" (your path may differ). Click Next, type a name for your shortcut, and click Finish. Now every time you log on, this shortcut will reinstate the anti-focus-stealing setting.
Regrettably, even this technique won't stop all the focus stealing. If you find that one application in particular is doing most of the attention grabbing, consider replacing it with an equivalent program.
"(Biden’s) own chief of staff, Ron Klain, would say last year that it was pure luck, that they did ‘everything possible wrong’ (with H1N1). And we learned from that."
"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."
That Rose Garden event — there's been a great deal of speculation about it — my wife Karen and I were there and honored to be there. Many of the people who were at that event, Susan, were actually tested for coronavirus, and it was an outdoor event, which all of our scientists r...
