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.”

Exactly what is Obama's New Phone look like and do ?
January 22, 2009
According to the Sectera Edge product page, it was developed for the National Security Agency’s Secure Mobile Environment Portable Electronic Device (SME PED) program. I’m sure the device cost in the hundreds of thousands to design, so you can bet this baby is secure.
The Sectera Edge actually looks like a very capable device, and appears to be running Windows CE (the underpinnings of Windows Mobile). So, the president will be able to view his Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and other documents while on the road and it will be completely secure. Features and specifications listed by General Dynamics for the Sectera Edge include:
* Processor -- not disclosed * Memory -- separate RAM and ROM for unclassified and classified modes * Display -- 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen display * Wireless interfaces: o WAN -- GSM (850/900/1800/1900)/EDGE, GSM (850/1900/2100) UMTS/HSDPA, or CDMA (800/1900) 1xRTT, CDMA (800/1900) EV-DO Rel. A o WAN -- 802.11b/g (optional) * Other I/O: o 1 x USB o 1 x serial (operable in classified mode only) o 2.5mm stereo headset jack * Expansion -- microSD slot * Dimensions and weight -- not disclosed * Operating temperature -9 to 140 deg. F
Pricing for the Sectera Edge was not revealed, but the device is available now, according to General Dynamics.
Below is a picture of the Sectera Edge taken from the Sectra Edge product page. As you can see, it does a lot more than a Blackberry. Oh and it puts the iPhone design to shame!
Update : CNN contacted NSA inquiring whether the agency will approve the super-secret $3,300 Blackberry and was directed to the White House which wouldn’t say which device the President has.
"(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...
