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.”

Paris Hilton suspects she knows her Burglar
December 23, 2008
Paris Hilton has claimed she may know the identity of the hooded bandit who robbed her Sherman Oaks, Calif. home last week.
Hilton told E! that this isn’t the first time she has fallen victim to a burglary incident.
“You know, it’s just an invasion of privacy and it’s happened to me before,” she said. “It’s really scary but they’re doing a huge investigation on this and we’re going to catch this person.”
Since the robbery, Hilton has “upped the security majorly.”
“We have three security guards there and a 24-hour guard who is always on my property,” she said. “We have the alarm on, the dogs we have, the guards with the gun, so, no one is going to be coming into my house.”
Newly secure in her abode, Hilton has asked for the return of her goods.
Hilton's doors were NOT unlocked during the robbery, contrary to newspaper and police reports.
"All of Paris' diamonds, necklaces, rings, watches, old family heirlooms from her grandmothers was stolen," the source says.
The robber was apparently someone who knew the layout of her home very well.
"They have the thief caught on surveillance cameras," the source adds. "In the tapes the thief knows exactly where to go, almost like he's been there before."

"(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."
