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.”

New York City Maraton Canceled Thousands OUTRAGED !
November 02, 2012
The New York City Marathon was canceled Friday by Mayor Michael
Bloomberg after mounting criticism that it was wrong to hold the race. Mary Wittenberg, president of New York Road Runners (NYRR) which
organizes the marathon, said at the press conference that officials and
organizers talked about a modified race or postponing the event, but
decided it was best to cancel it this year. All the supplies will be redeployed to people who
are in need.
GO HOME
"How do I tell people who have no place to go, that have no home, that
have no heat, that you have to leave because I have to make room for
somebody who has to run a marathon?" hotel owner Richard Nicotra told New York 1. 1st Response Teams Beyond Exhausted One post from a New York City paramedic ; "To
have this marathon this weekend is beyond any energy that myself or
that of my coworkers have. All the water and blankets and food that are
given to these runners can be better utilized to those who lost
everything and to shelters. I understand that 45,000 people from around
the country and the world have come here for this, but I am sorry, NYC
is beyond disaster. Just because north of 40th street looks as if
nothing happened, downtown looks as if a nuclear bomb went off and only
left standing infrastructure. To have this marathon is selfish, and
dangerous. Your EMS/Fire/Police personnel are beyond exhausted, mentally
and physically." Online Petition An online petition on change.org asking Mayor Michael Bloomberg and New
York Road Runners president and CEO Mary Wittenberg to postpone the race
until the spring has more than 15,000 supporters. History The nationally televised race that winds through the city's five
boroughs and ends in Central Park has been held annually since 1970,
it was held in 2001, about two months after the Sept. 11 terrorist
attacks. This is the first time the marathon has been cancelled in the event's history.

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...
