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.”

Grand Theft Auto IV First Video Review
April 27, 2008
Set to debut on April 29, the long-awaited latest installment of the often lambasted and extremely popular game is set in Liberty City, a near-exact replica of New York City, with a similar plotline to past games: Players are submerged in an urban criminal underworld, where they must shoot, rob and kill their way through the city.
The game, though plagued by criticism of its violent content, has only become more popular with each new edition of the series. You still can kill police, but it's wiser to avoid these shootouts because if you're arrested, you'll lose all your money and weapons and fail the mission. Though they'll try to jump out of the way, you also can drive into pedestrians.
Players can again proposition prostitutes to get a "health boost." Exotic pole dancers are in the game — but there is no nudity, nor is there a hidden sex mini-game, à la "Hot Coffee," which landed the game publisher in hot water in the past.
You also can drink and drive in this game, and if you choose to go out partying with friends, at the end of the night you can walk home, hail a cab or drive; if you drive, your vision is blurred, making it harder to control the vehicle.
"(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."
"There are estimates that by the end of the term of this administration, they will have lost more jobs than almost any other presidential administration."
