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.”

Despite vast improvements to Internet Explorer, Microsoft’s flagship browser continues to lose ground to Mozilla’s Firefox especially in Europe. According to a new study (translated) by XiTiMonitor, a French internet monitoring firm, Firefox has made dramatic gains in browser market share in Europe throughout the past year with a fairly dramatic upswing in Firefox usage over the past four months.
The study, which looked at roughly 96,000 websites during the first week in July, found that Firefox had 27.8 percent market share across Europe while IE held 66.5 percent. The remaining share is made up of other browsers like Apple’s Safari and Opera. The rise in Firefox usage is even more dramatic in individual countries, particularly Slovenia (47.9 percent) and Finland (45.4 percent) where Firefox is basically on par with Internet Explorer.
Perhaps the most disturbing news for Microsoft is that even in markets where IE continues to dominate users have been slow to upgrade to the latest version IE7. Another study by XiTiMonitor reveals that only about on third of IE users have upgraded to the latest version. In fact Firefox 2 has a greater market share than IE7 in 17 European countries.
