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.”

Britney Spears Ex received Death Threats over Sex Tape
June 03, 2008
Love rat Adnan Ghalib has received death threats after revelations he planned to sell a sex-tape of Britney Spears.
The Brummie paparazzo said he was the target of a fierce backlash among Britney’s loyal fans.
And he was even stabbed after it emerged that the video of Britney, 26, performing a private striptease for him, wearing just a pink wig, was set to hit the web.
Now he has gone into hiding and taken a break from work to escape the fury.
Adnan, 35, said: “I have had many calls about it from all over the world. In light of the constant calls about the sex tape and threats, I’m taking a break from the industry and keeping a low profile.”
He confirmed: “Yes I was injured by an attacker. This is still being investigated.” He received a stab wound to his arm, have facial lacerations as well as a black eye. He allegedly received medical attention and is said to be doing as well as can be hoped under the circumstances.

The wave of anger came after sources claimed Adnan planned to put a clip of Britney stripping onto the net.
He hoped the leaked taster would act as bait to lure in buyers keen to get their hands on the full two-hour video then sell it to the highest bidder, it was claimed.
The video was said to be made on a weekend trip to Mexico when the couple were inseparable.

"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...
