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.”

According to Microsoft, the bug affects Outlook 97 and Outlook 2000, as well as Outlook Express running on Windows XP.
A just disclosed bug in Windows Vista's built in email program can be used by hackers to run malicious code on a victimized PC.
Microsoft acknowledged the report, and said it is investigating the vulnerability.
Symantec's DeepSight network, which issued a warning about the vulnerability in Windows Mail early this morning, upped the threat rating from 6.8 to 7.5 in a followup alert after it confirmed that the bug was remote code exploitable. That means an attacker could introduce his/her own mailware onto a compromised computer. Windows Mail is the successor to Outlook Express, the entry level email app that's been bundled with the operating system since the Windows 95 edition.
By crafting an email message with a link to a malicious file one hosted on a remote Internet server, and duping the recipient to click on the link, an attacker could infect a Vista PC with software that steals identities or with a backdoor Trojan horse.
An attacker can deliver an email message containing a malicious link that references a local executable, the DeepSight alert read. If the victim clicks on this link, the native program is executed with no further action required. For instance: An attacker could achieve the execution of the local file 'winrm.cmd' (Gotcha!)
If run, 'winrm.cmd' the Windows Remote Management command line tool would give an attacker complete access to a PC.
Coincidentally, it was only this week that an executive in Microsoft's security technology unit boasted about Vista and gave the new operating system an A+ for security in its first 90 days of release. OS9USER REPORTS : Users can recover a quarantined data file by following these instructions:
