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.”

Khloe Kardashian Released From Jail After 173 Minutes
July 18, 2008
Khloe Kardashian was released from Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood County, CA at 1:29 p.m. Friday – just 173 minutes after entering the jail, the L.A. Sheriff's Department announced on their site.
She turned herself into L.A. Sheriff's Department custody Friday morning for violating probation following a 2007 DUI arrest and was booked at 8:52 a.m.
Khloe, 23, entered the jail at 10:25 a.m.
Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie were also held at that jail; Richie for just 82 minutes.
Khloe partied with sister Kim and brother Robert Jr. at Matt Leinart's Celebrity Bowling Night at Lucky Strike Lanes in Hollywood Thursday night.
"She's not nervous now, but I think she will be tomorrow," Kim told Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday.

She's "ready and willing" to head to jail, Kim wrote on her blog Tuesday.
Khloe will also have to enroll in an alcohol treatment program — one of the terms of probation she failed to complete — within three weeks of her release.
Kim wrote on her blog: "I urge people to learn from the mistakes of others. Please drink responsibly, and it's never acceptable to drink and drive!"

"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."
