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.”

2 Year Old Infant Dropped Out Window (Video)
May 09, 2008
Firefighters dropped an infant and a 2-year-old out of the second floor of a burning building in Manchester NH on Friday morning.
It could have been much worse, but the quick work of neighbors and firefighters kept a blaze in Manchester from turning tragic.
A brother, sister and her two babies lived on the third floor. They made it down one level before getting trapped. An off-duty firefighter went in to help and a passerby caught the toddler and newborn from a second floor window. Three adults were rescued when firefighters arrived.
The children were taken to a hospital, where relatives said they were recovering.
The fire at 198 Auburn St. was called in at about 9 a.m., and flames could be seen shooting from the roof of the triple-decker.
A man who wanted to be identified only as Chris was trapped in the building, along with the two children, his nephews.
"We got to the second floor and hit a wall of smoke, but then the firefighters came in and kicked out the windows," Chris said.
Firefighters dropped the children out the window to rescuers waiting below.
"I was walking down the alley and saw firefighters toss two infant babies out the window," witness Shannon O'Dell said. "I thought to myself, 'I hope they catch them,'"The children were caught safely.
Many neighbors say the cries for help are what drew them to the scene.
"We could hear the crying of the babies, and we could hear a woman screaming before they got them out," witness Jill Baker said. "It was pretty scary."Other residents were also trapped in the building.
"The fire was on the first floor," Chief James Burkush said. "
Smoke detectors were working, but they were unable to escape.
"Fire crews moved ladder trucks in to rescue the remaining residents. Six residents were taken to the hospital, most of them to be treated for smoke inhalation.
One firefighter was injured when he fell on broken glass. And, just as equally as firefighters saved lives, they protected the other apartments just inches from the blaze.
This story was compiled from many different sources.
"(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."
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...
