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.”

When Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin told prospective shareholders about Google, they outlined a commitment to devote employee time and one percent of Google's profits and equity toward philanthropy. That vision became Google.org, the philanthropic arm of Google. At Google.org, we seek to address the challenges of our changing environment, human health and global poverty.
Google.org’s umbrella includes the Google Foundation, some of Google's projects, and unique partnerships and contributions. The structure of the philanthropy allows us to pursue the best solutions to global problems by making grants, like a traditional foundation, as well as investing in individuals and for-profit entities. In addition to money, we have some unique resources from the company: innovative technology and most importantly, the inspired community of Googlers.
While the results achieved by our grantees and partners are more important than the amount of money we give, we want to be clear about how we're going to keep those "one percent" commitments. There are two parts: equity and profit. For the one percent of equity, Google has committed one percent of the outstanding shares that resulted from Google's initial public offering; this amount began as 3 million shares. We have begun to donate and invest this amount and will continue over a period of up to 20 years. Because it is based on stock, the dollar value of this commitment will rise and fall with Google's stock price.
We'll follow through on the other commitment – one percent of profit – by taking one percent of each year's profits and donating and investing that too. Our first step in meeting these commitments was a $90 million cash donation to establish the Google Foundation. In addition, we've announced our first three year target of up to $175 million in grants and investments across other Google.org efforts.
"(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."

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...
