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.”

Drunk Officer Fires Gun in Car (Video)
June 18, 2010
The Dallas, Texas Police Department says an intoxicated, off-duty officer discharged her weapon in a squad car while fellow officers were trying to take her home.
Officer Kelly Beemer was released from jail Thursday night after posting bond.
She is charged with one count of discharging a firearm in a municipality.
Police said Beemer, a 27-year-old patrol officer, was at a Dallas bar Wednesday night while off-duty and was too drunk to drive.
Two on-duty officers came to pick her up.
Investigators said Beemer got belligerent as officers were driving her to her east Dallas home.
On Thursday, Dallas police released dashcam footage of the incident.
“This is what you’ve wanted,“ she can be heard saying on a dashboard camera video.
“To take you home?“ one of the two other officers asks.
“To drive me out of my mind to where I have no [expletive] control, no control whatsoever. Isn’t this what you wanted?“ she can be heard saying.
Police said Beemer thought she was being taken to jail.
She pulled out her police-issued handgun and fired a single shot in the floorboard near the intersection of Gaston Avenue and Abrams Road, police said.
An officer can be heard on the dashcam footage yelling, “Kelly, drop the gun! Drop the gun! Drop it! Drop it!“
Police Chief David Brown said he is extremely disappointed by her actions, calling them “reckless” and “unacceptable.“
No one was hurt, but police said Beemer’s actions have the potential to shake public confidence in the department.
“Officer Beemer’s conduct is a disgrace to herself and the people trying to help her,“ First Assistant Chief Charles Cato said.
Police said they released the footage from the dashboard camera so the department cannot be accused of trying to cover the incident up.
Beemer has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation.
The other two officers involved have been put on restricted duty.
