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.”

Doctors remove live grenade from leg (Video)

A Colombian soldier's life was saved yesterday after a doctor removed a live grenade that was stuck in his leg.
The device became lodged in the soldier's leg after a fellow soldier accidentally fired a grenade rifle while they were on security detail at the presidential retreat home located in Cajica outside the capital.
Colombian President Alvaro Uribe was not in residence at the time.
After being taken to a local hospital the soldier was transported to Bogota and with anti-explosives experts standing by, the high-risk operation was performed by Dr Julian Ricardo Uribe in the parking lot of the military hospital.
The soldier, Alexander Guerrero was injured after a grenade was accidentally lodged in his right leg.
Four hours later the patient was transported to our emergency services at the military hospital with that explosive device in his leg.
The surgery took place at 11am, the patient was from Cajica, and the duration of the surgery was 17 minutes to extract the 40 milimetre MJL grenade," said Dr. Uribe.
Explosives experts took the grenade from the doctor and then destroyed it in a controlled explosion.
Doctors said the soldier would have to undergo reconstructive surgery.
