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.”

Lindsay Lohan Has Secret Teenage Sister (Video)
June 30, 2008
13-year-old Ashley Lohan has a thing or two to say to her father, as she was left aside all these years.
“She’s been waiting for this for a very long time. She’s very angry with what Michael has done to her over the past several years,” said Kaufmann.
Lindsay has two brothers Michael Jr., 20, Cody, 12, and a sister Ali, 14.
'My daughter has a right to know who her father is -- and it's Michael.' said Kristi Kaufmann.

Michael Lohan, father of actress Lindsay, spoke Friday night with reporters gathered outside Hollywood's Ritual Supper Club for a press conference concerning a woman's recent claim that she had a daughter by him 13 years ago.
Lindsay Lohan's dad, Michael, says -- if the baby is his, he'll "do the right thing."
Friday he admitted to a brief relationship with another woman while he was separated from his wife years ago, now that woman is claiming her 13-year old daughter is a Lohan. Michael Lohan says the issue will be resolved privately, and resents that the woman went public with a private matter.
Lohan said he once had a relationship with a woman named Kristi Horn and that he hadn't seen her in 12 years.
He said the two were seeing each other while he was separated from Dina Lohan, and the woman was going through a divorce. Lohan said he learned of the claim after receiving letters from the woman and photos of the girl purported to be his daughter when he was incarcerated.
"While I was prison, I got a letter, and she said that she had a paternity test with her ex-husband," said Lohan, who has hired lawyers to look into the claim.
"The results were negative with him, and she felt that I was the father.
I said, 'Well, why did you wait so long to tell me?'
She said there were a lot of things going on in her life."
I met Kristi Kaufmann in 1982 in Houston.
In 1995, when I was separated from Dina, she contacted me that she was moving to Long Island ...
I was with her for a week ...
Years later, while I was in prison, she contacted to me to say she had a paternity test done that revealed the child's father was not her husband.
She said I was the only other man she had been with.
When we find out the truth we will deal with it in the appropriate manner.
Our excitement over whether or not the allegations are valid or not is lower on the anticipation scale than seeing actual copies of these prison love letters from Papa Michael.
"(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...
