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.”

Harry Potter actor stabbed & Killed in London
May 24, 2008
A young Harry Potter actor stabbed to death in a bar fight is the latest victim of London's teenage killings.
Who was it ?
Rob Knox, an 18-year-old who acted in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, was fatally wounded outside the Metro Bar in Sidcup, Scotland Yard said.
The stabbing happened just yards from the shoe shop owned by Jimmy's parents in Sidcup High Street.
Shocked friends of Rob Knox, gathered at the Metro bar in Sidcup where the incident occurred.
In the new film - Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, due at cinemas in November - Rob, who had finished his work on the set, plays Ravenclaw student Marcus Belby.
A Warner Bros spokeswoman said: "We are deeply saddened and shocked by this news and at this time our sympathies are with his family."
The former Beths Grammar School student was described as someone who "had everything to live for".
Four others hurt in the fight are being treated at separate London hospitals - a 21-year-old for a stab wound to the neck, a 16-year-old youth for a stab wound to the chest, and another man in his 20's for hand injuries.
A fifth man, 21, was taken to hospital suffering facial injuries. He was later discharged, and has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
I was unable to find a picture on Rob Knox in "The Half-Blood Prince". He played a minor roll in Harry's newest film, perhaps this is why.

"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...
