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

The Babysitters Trailer & Spoiler
May 10, 2008
High school senior Shirley works as a babysitter to save money for college. She has a serious crush on Michael, father of two of her regular charges. One night, Michael and Shirley share a forbidden kiss, and he gives her a nice bonus on top of her regular babysitting fee. After Michael's married buddies find out and want in on the babysitter action, Shirley becomes a high-school madam, arranging dates between her girlfriends and the upstanding family men of their neighborhood with her trusty black book. An innocent flirtation soon spirals into an affair that causes everyone involved to lose more than they bargained for.
Michael Beltran has a different outlook on life. The father of two, Michael married Gail, the 'party-girl' who turned out to be the responsible one in the family. He works a job he doesn't like, misses the occasional AA meeting, and longs for a little of the excitement he used to know.
When Michael drives Shirley home from babysitting the first night, they both find something they need in each other. Michael wants someone, anyone, to think of him as fascinating and funny and vital. Shirley wants someone to think of her as grown up. But, as Shirley says, as soon as one thing is out of place, it throws everything out of whack, and when a stolen kiss is returned both Shirley and Michael set in motion a series of events fatally destined to crash.
For Michael, guilt over the kiss leads him to overpay Shirley for her babysitting services. For Shirley, what she doesn't admit she can't regret, so she puts the money away with the rest of her college fund. When a friend of Michael's wants the same experience and Shirley's best friend is willing to "baby-sit" Shirley sees it as a simple matter of supply and demand...and a way to make twenty percent off the top.
But sex is never as easy as stamping "services paid", and love to a teenage girl doesn't mean the same as lust to a middle aged man. So while "business" is soon booming, so too are greed, envy and jealousy threatening to spiral Shirley's carefully constructed world wildly out of control.
A movie about the contradictions that drive our daily choices, The Babysitters stars John Leguizamo, Katherine Waterston, and Cynthia Nixon. Produced by John Leguizamo, Kathy Demarco Cora Olson, Jennifer Dubin Jason Dubin, The Babysitters is written and directed by David Ross.
"(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...
