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.”

Congressman Assaults Student on Washington Sidewalk
June 14, 2010
Rep. Bob Etheridge (D-NC) attacks a student after being asked a question about his support for President Obama's political agenda.
Rep. Bob Etheridge (D-N.C.) has apologized for actions captured in a YouTube video, featured on a conservative website, that went viral on Monday.
"I deeply and profoundly regret my reaction, and I apologize to all involved," Etheridge said in a statement. "Throughout my many years of service to the people of North Carolina, I have always tried to treat people from all viewpoints with respect. No matter how intrusive and partisan our politics can become, this does not justify a poor response. I have and I will always work to promote a civil public discourse."
There remain questions about the video, which was said to be shot in Washington outside of a fundraiser held by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, which Etheridge attended.
It was featured Monday on a conservative website known for its video sting of the group ACORN; the post is heavily promoted by the Drudge Report.
A simple question, does not prompt a response like that.
Time for a change :)
Update : "I'm sorry" - a piece of rubbish
We do not believe the congressman is sorry.
He is worried about his career (or what is left of it).
What gives him the right to grab a student ?
