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.”

10 shootings in 30 days in Manchester
July 15, 2020
Manchester Police are actively working on multiple shooting investigations. There have been 3 shootings in 4 days and several reports of gunfire heard in different parts of the city. In many of these incidents those involved are less than cooperative, making it extremely difficult for our investigators to get the information they need to bring the responsible parties to justice.
In the past 30 days there have been 10 shootings, 2 of which resulted in death. 4 others left people injured. Year to date, Manchester has had 3 homicides, compared to 6 throughout all of last year.
“I’m very concerned with the uptick in shootings in the city. Our officers are out there every day working to keep our community safe, the senseless shootings and reckless behavior of those involved is nothing more than a complete disregard for our citizens,” says Chief Carlo Capano.
We ask that anyone who has information about these crimes, come forward. Manchester Police work hard to conduct thorough investigations and often times the public’s help is a vital part of the process. The lack of cooperation only allows for violent criminals to remain on our streets longer, putting more people in danger.
“The refusal to give investigators pertinent information makes it nearly impossible to solve these cases,” says Capano. “It ultimately allows those responsible to continue with their reckless behavior. As a community we have to come together and work collaboratively to prevent these shootings from continuing. “
