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.”

Earth's magnetic field is weakening. Do we need to be Concerned ???
May 22, 2020
Earth's magnetic field is gradually weakening in an area that stretches from Africa to South America, and scientists who are trying to understand why.
Satellites and spacecraft malfunction as Earth's magnetic field mysteriously weakens https://t.co/WcCURp7ONZ
For people on the surface the anomaly is unlikely to cause any alarm, but satellites and other spacecraft flying through the area are experiencing technical malfunctions.
I learned today that Earth's magnetic north is moving quickly based on an inner-planetary battle between two magnetic blobs under Canada and Siberia. "The Siberian blob is winning." All I know is that I don't like this. @earthskysciencehttps://t.co/KmVbFlkTiX
Because our magnetic field is caused by the chaotic twisting and tangling of the electric current of iron in our core, the magnetic field constantly shifts its shape and position over the years. This is been known since we first began measuring it in the early 1800s, but the cause of the recent surge in movement of magnetic north has been a mystery.
Thankfully, the ESA’s Swarm mission, which has been mapping the details of the Earth’s magnetic field, may give us some clues. It appears that the location of the north magnetic pole is determined by the balancing act of two massive magnetic regions plunging into the Earth right next to each other. And one of those blobs seems to be weakening, allowing the other one dominate, pushing the magnetic field towards Siberia. As far as the researchers can tell, this motion will continue for at least another decade, but with the complexities of the Earth’s core, it’s impossible to tell what will happen after that. The north magnetic pole may return to its Canadian home, or it might permanently immigrate to the remote reaches of Eastern Russia.
"(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."
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...
