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.”

High school student rides horse to school to save money (Video)
May 14, 2008
Unfortunately, there's little we can do about the high gas prices, but one high school student says he found a solution and he's not just horsing around.
Bradley Walker of Rockwood High School in Rockwood, Tennessee rose his horse (Pumpkin) to school to save money on gas.
"It saves gas. Gas is getting ridiculous," Walker says. "It really hit me last night. When I drove to Oak Ridge it was $3.56 and when I came home it was $3.66. It went up a dime in an hour's time and that was ridiculous to me."
"So I went home, a buddy of mine came over and put some shoes on Pumpkin, I gave him a hair cut and then I saddled him up this morning and headed out," Walker adds.
The senior only lives a few miles from school. It's a 10 minute drive, but a 45 minute horseback ride. Still, Walker says it's all worth it to save some cash.
"I might get eight miles to the gallon in my old truck. So driving up here and back every day, five days a week, I probably burn $25 worth of gas."
"If I ride him to school every day, five days a week, I won't burn a dime. And I'll have fun doing it. It's pretty out, it's nice out. It wasn't really cold this morning. It was cold for about 10 minutes and then it warmed up. And me and my horse went right up the road," Walker says.
"(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...
