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.”

Stars "Google" over Jennifer Aniston Nude Pics
December 13, 2008
JENNIFER Aniston has appeared naked on the cover of US GQ magazine wearing only a necktie.
The 39-year-old actress also told the magazine rumours she was pregnant with boyfriend John Mayer's baby were not true and joked about her relationship with Angelina Jolie, her ex-husband's parter.
"I am not having his baby".
"And I have not popped the question."
"Honestly, I did not know much about him before I met him. I'd heard ... you know, uh Your Body - that song. But what I can say is that I had no idea what an extraordinary musician he is. And it's just great to sit and be witness to that. It's kind of like, Whoa!"
"The funny thing is, people don't realise we all go away to The Hamptons on the weekends. "
"That'd be hysterical - I've got Zahara on my hip, and Knox ..."

"It is so a comment on the sexual double standard, and what's been ironic is how hard it's been to get this movie made," she says.
"Studios want it, but they are afraid of middle America. They'd want to change it, they're saying, 'Oh, you can't do that, people just can't imagine you ...'"
It's part of what she sees as a disturbing problem in Hollywood.
"Look, I think all women on some level just want to rage against the machine," she says.
"There are too many movies out there that don't empower women, movies in which their only way of being happy is finding a man. And you know, that's not my favorite theme."
Aniston's new film Marley & Me opens in Australia on January 1.
"(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...
