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 Outrages News Media Again
July 30, 2008
Britney is pictured standing on the balcony of her LA home smoking a cigarette while son Sean watches.
The toddler then reaches into a bowl full of smoking gear and pulls out a cigarette and a lighter so he can copy Mom.
And, rather than rushing to stop her son, Britney saunters over to Sean and takes the packet from him before returning it to the same table.
Horrified messages on websites slammed the star after the pictures, which were taken early last week, emerged yesterday.
1st, let me say a few things here.
People are "Blowing" smoking way out of portion. Britney is smoking out doors. Where is the 2nd hand smoke ?
Next, if she makes a big deal about this Sean will know this is a soft spot with her mother. Britney did not jump when he grabbed the cigs, which was right (he could not light them anyway) and removed them from Sean after he put all the cigs back.
Notice Seans face in the pic above. He is looking for a charge from his mother. She does not give it to him. This is a much better way to handle this situation.
I would have done the same thing. Any child that knows "How to get a Raise" from you will do it. Pointing out to children that smoking is bad, and you can no play with these, are much better way of dealing with this.
Do you realize this celeb can not sneeze, without someone picking up the "Booger's" ?
Parenting does not come with an instruction manual, as the News Media might think. Britney should be more careful in the future with Sean yes. I am not sticking up for her, but the media is "blowing" this way out of portion.
"(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...
