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.”

Bloggers are blasting the AP (Associated Press) about " Fair Use Limits ".
We do not use the AP here, but what they are doing is "unjustified " to bloggers. In summary, 5 words cost you $12.50 !!!
I just made a comment on Search Engine Roundtable about the AP Charging $12.50 for every 5 words used in their stories. Making Light had a great story on this subject as well.
1st of all before I continue, what makes you think for one second ANY BLOGGER would pay $12.50 for 5 words ?
The AP claims that it can revoke the license at any time if it feels you're saying something negative about the Associated Press: "Publisher reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time if Publisher or its agents finds Your use of the licensed Content to be offensive and/or damaging to Publisher’s reputation."
Houston : We have a problem - We will never have a license. I am going to tell you "As it Is" , not as you "Tell Me to Say It".
I wonder if CNN, Yahoo News or any other News Sources pay that much. Probably not or those sites would drop the AP like a rock.
Here on the OS9USER, I do pay INBOX for my news, but they are the only ones at this time.
Sky News has been more than generous as well as CBS , NECN & MSN. Out of the 4 , Sky News seems to be the best !
ReUters was recently dropped from this site regarding a complaint we made about their video's.
We hope to have ABC Video's here in the fall, as that part of their news is still under construction. (EMBED Video's)
So there you have it.
First, more and more people are watching Video's.
So Video News is the way to go.
Why in gods name would I pay $12.50 for 5 words ?
I see people re-running our stories, but they include a link back to this site.
This is fine, and we will never complain about that. So ask yourself, what would you rather do ?
Pay for 5 words , or get Video News for Free ???
This helps Sky News, NECN, CBS & MSN get the video's out and viewed to as many as it can. This is what they want.
Apparently the AP just wants your Mon-aaayyy !
Let them see if they can sucker it out of Google, which might react to there " Fair Use Limits " policy.
Google is strict on duplicate content as we are under a Google domain.
My advise, do not even bother getting AP feeds or using their stories. I do not !
And I always find something in the "Breaking Video News" to report.
"(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...
