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.”

Britney Spears will temporarily lose custody of her two toddler sons to ex-husband Kevin Federline, sources told FOXNews.com ahead of the official ruling expected later Monday.
Commissioner Scott Gordon will order the boys, 2 year old Sean Preston and 1 year old Jayden James, turned over to Federline based on information that Los Angeles Family Court received over the weekend about Spears, the sources told FOXNews.com.
During Mondays custody hearing, Spears former bodyguard accused the pop star of having issues of nudity and drug use since she returned from rehab, and reports of a planned hit on Federline emerged.
The bodyguards attorney, the high profile Los Angeles lawyer Gloria Allred, said in a press conference Monday that Spears attorney chose not to cross examine the bodyguard, who has been described as a secret witness against Spears in her custody battle with Federline.
The bodyguard, Tony Barretto, filed a declaration in the custody battle which alleges nudity, drug use and safety issues post-rehab.
Allred said Barretto was prepared to testify under oath Monday, but neither the court nor Spears attorneys chose to cross-examine him. She said his declaration went unrefuted and unchallenged.
Barretto started working for Spears when she got out of rehab, and was fired on May 17 because, Allred said, He did not hear her when he was asked to pick up her hat.
Barretto, himself the father of young children, came forward because while working for Spears, he became very concerned about the safety of her two boys, according to Allred.
Federlines lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, said he was in court Monday because of a declaration that had been filed by him and because he wanted to be available should his client be cross examined.
The ruling giving Federline temporary custody of his and Spears children was expected to be handed down in Los Angeles Family Court later Monday afternoon.
Britneys lawyer Laura Wasser disputes that. She says custody remains 50/50 for now and no other decisions have been made. Today was Lauras last day as Britneys lawyer where she attended a 2 hour hearing with that secret witness.
In the mist of all this , Britneys manager walks out on her. It seems everyone is leaving Britney, but how much do you want to make a bet, she makes a strong come back in the future !
