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.”

Alphabet shares rose as much as 4% in extended trading on Tuesday after the company reported earnings for the first quarter.
Alphabet is up in early postmarket action (GOOG+3.6%, GOOGL+3.9%) after growing EPS and easily topping revenue expectations in a first quarter heavily watched for signs of potential ad weakness.
Ad revenue did decline on YouTube by 14% from the prior quarter (though up 33.5% Y/Y), as video distributors face an industrywide advertising slump.
“Performance was strong during the first two months of the quarter, but then in March we experienced a significant slowdown in ad revenues," says CFO Ruth Porat.
Overall revenue rose 13% to $41.16B, vs. an expected $40.2B. It was up 15% on a constant-currency basis.
Operating income rose 19% to $7.98B, and operating margin dipped to 19% from a year ago 23%.
Net income, meanwhile, rose to $6.84B from a year-ago $6.66B (GAAP basis), and declined on a non-GAAP basis from last year's $8.34B.

"(Biden’s) own chief of staff, Ron Klain, would say last year that it was pure luck, that they did ‘everything possible wrong’ (with H1N1). And we learned from that."
"There are estimates that by the end of the term of this administration, they will have lost more jobs than almost any other presidential administration."
