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

Naomi Campbell has been charged with three counts of assaulting a police officer over an alleged air rage incident at Heathrow. The charges stem from an incident this past April when Naomi was arrested on British Airways flight following a hissy fit over some lost luggage.
The supermodel, wearing a black pin-stripe suit, made no comment as she walked into Heathrow police station.
She is also charged with one offence of disorderly conduct likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress and two offences of using threatening, abusive words or behaviour to cabin crew.
Each of the police assault allegations carries a maximum sentence of six months imprisonment.
The star, who is known for her fiery temper, is due to appear at Uxbridge magistrates' court on June 20.
She was arrested on a British Airway plane last month after one of her bags apparently went missing at Terminal 5.
Passengers watched as officers got onto the plane to arrest her after what witnesses said involved a dispute over luggage.
They said the 38-year-old model was aggressive and abusive to staff and police.
Campbell was held as she was about to fly to Los Angeles for a memorial service.
Last year she was forced to mop floors at New York's Sanitation Department as a community service punishment for throwing a mobile phone at her maid.
The catwalk star spent five days mopping, sweeping and scrubbing toilets.
During the experience, she wrote: "I find solace in sweeping. I have the time to think. Just have, you know, peace."
She said she was considering therapy to control her temper.
Campbell was ordered to appear at a west London magistrates' court June 20.
Campbell has a history of assaulting assistants and employees.
In 2000, she pleaded guilty in Toronto to an assault charge for beating an assistant while making a film in Canada in 1998. Under an agreement with prosecutors, Campbell expressed remorse and was released without punishment or a criminal record.
In January 2007, Campbell pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault in New York for throwing her cell phone at her maid in a dispute over a missing pair of jeans. She was ordered to do community service and attend a two-day anger-management program.
"(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."
