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

He has been under house arrest since July over coronavirus concerns.

A fight broke out between Pamela Anderson's former husbands Kid Rock and Tommy Lee at the MTV Video Music Awards on last night.
MTV VJ Sway said during the post show that he saw Kid Rock walk up to the Motley Crue drummer, who was sitting next to Diddy, and deck him.
Earlier that night the Baywatch star was spotted cosying up to Lee, who is the father of her two sons. Both Lee and Kid Rock are ex-husbands of Pamela Anderson, who was a presenter at the show and delivered her lines from a top a table in the audience.
According to the AP, rap producer Rich Nice was an eyewitness. He says that although Kid Rock threw the only punch that landed, it was Tommy Lee who started the fight. It looked like Tommy Lee initiated it because Kid Rock was ignoring him, said Nice, who was two tables away.
When Tommy stands up is when Kid hit him the first time with a backhand. Tommy Lee looked like he was trying to get at him to aggressively retaliate and then Kid Rock hits Tommy Lee again.
Kid Rock did receive a citation for misdemeanor battery.
