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.

Normally a broken high is just inconvienient and embarrassing.
But for Sophie King it really was a pain, because she snapped her ankle as well.
Sophie King, 20, took shoe shop Dolcis, in Manchester’s Trafford Centre, to court when her high heel split the first time she wore the shoes.
Miss King, from Knutsford, Cheshire, was walking along a tram platform while travelling into the city centre with friends when the heel broke.
Her left foot hit the ground hard and, despite trying to continue with her night out, the injury meant she later needed an ambulance to take her to hospital.
Doctors put screws into her ankle to treat the fracture, and she was in plaster for several weeks.
Miss King, who is studying English literature at Durham University, was forced to quit a waitressing job she had arranged for the Christmas holiday following her accident in November 2004.
After waiting for more than three years, she finally won her battle for compensation on June 5 when she was awarded received a $14,400 cash at Manchester County Court, as the shoe shop admitted liability. Dolcis has been in administration for more than six months.
Mike Hardacre, from Manchester law firm Pannone, which represented Miss King, said the Sale of Goods Act gives protection to consumers.
He said: “Sophie had only bought the shoes a week before and had never worn them.
“She was minding her own business on a night out with her friends when it happened.
“In most cases when the product itself is faulty you get your money back. Solicitors only get involved if there is an injury.
“This case highlights the fact that consumers are well protected in English law where products purchased are defective.”

"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."
