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.

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.”

Hundreds of thousands of Web sites including several at the United Nations and in the United Kingdom have been hacked recently and seeded with code that tries to exploit security flaws in Windows to install malicious software on visitors machines.
The attackers appear to be breaking into the sites with the help of a security vulnerability in Microsoft's Internet Information Services (ISS) Web servers.
There is a great add-on for Firefox called "noscript," which blocks these kinds of Javascript exploits from running automatically if a user happens to visit a hacked site.
Currently, there is no such protection for Internet Explorer users, and disallowing Javascript entirely isn't really an option on today's World Wide Web.
So far three different domains have been used to host the malicious content — nmidahena.com, aspder.com and nihaorr1.com.
There's a set of files that gets loaded from these sites that attempts to use different exploits to install an online gaming trojan.
Right now the initial exploit page on all domains are unaccessible but that could change. So if you're a firewall administrator we recommend you to block access to them.
The total sites hacked is well past 1/2 million and climbing.
Trendmicro named the trojan malware toj_agent.KAQ it watches for passwords and passes them back to contoller’s ip.
