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.”

Ghostbuster 3 coming in Christmas 2012 (Spoiler)
May 24, 2010
Dan Aykroyd has confirmed that shooting for third Ghostbusters movie is set for Christmas 2012 .
It was earlier reported that Sigourney Weaver - who starred in the first two films - was unwilling to reprise her role as Dana Barrett.
However, Aykroyd has revealed that the original cast is in place to reprise the characters from the 1984 film.
He said that Weaver has signed on for the project, alongside himself, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson.
Weaver stated:
"I know that my little son, Oscar – who was kidnapped from me – I think he has grown up to be a ghostbuster," adding, "I might be in it and I see nothing wrong with being in it, although I don't think I will have a big part in it. I think Bill Murray has a little more to do with it - he might be a ghost."
To which Murray responded in his email interview:
"I'll come back in Ghostbusters III only if I get to be a ghost. I said to them, 'I'll do it if you kill me off in the first reel.' So now they are going to have me as a ghost in the film."

Coming in 3-D?
Every major studio seems to be picking up on the 3-D releases, from Disney's Alice in Wonderland and Tron Legacy, to Sony's new Spider-Man reboot. Many studios are making last-minute choices to convert or add 3-D to some of their more immediate releases, like Warner Bros. with Clash of the Titans. Either way, this isn't an official announcement, but you can probably put money down that we'll see our favorite paranormal investigators in 3-D.
