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.”

Homeless "Sites" Crop up under 2 Bridges In Manchester [UPDATE]
April 30, 2020
MANCHESTER — Mayor Joyce Craig released a “public letter to the community” on Thursday, spelling out measures taken to protect the homeless from COVID-19, including a city-sanctioned camp for the homeless.
Earlier this week officials provided portable toilets, sinks, and started meal deliveries at a homeless camp on Canal Street, located under the Amoskeag Bridge. Workers started clearing an area along the Granite Street bridge, too.
Craig pointed to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines that encouraged officials to not clear housing camps.
She stressed the camps are temporary.
“This is a difficult situation for everyone, but our goal has been, and always will be, to ensure the health and safety of our community,” Craig wrote.
She said the New Horizons homeless shelter has stopped accepting new people after receiving guidance from the city Health Department.
The New Hampshire National Guard has helped to set up temporary shelters at the former St. Casimir School and Angie’s Place.
Also signing the letter were Health Director Anna Thomas, Fire Chief Dan Goonan, and Police Chief Carlo Capano.
