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.”

CDC People across the US are drinking hand sanitizer causing death
August 06, 2020
The CDC is calling on Americans not to drink potentially deadly hand sanitizers. The agency released details of 15 recent cases, including four people who died, three who lost vision, and eight others who were hospitalized after ingesting the product. Each of them had consumed versions of hand sanitizer that contained methanol, a type of alcohol, between May 1 and June 30 in New Mexico and Arizona, according to the CDC report released Wednesday. It comes on the heels of the FDA's latest alert to consumers about hand sanitizers to avoid, including a warning against the potentially deadly ingredient methanol. As hand sanitizer production increased during the pandemic, more companies pivoted to producing the high-demand product. That's why the FDA believes some producers starting swapping in methanol, another type of alcohol, and an ingredient used to produce antifreeze and fuel. Unlike ethanol and isopropyl alcohol, methanol can be deadly when inhaled or absorbed into the bloodstream through your skin. In the United States, any product that contains more than 4% methanol must be labeled as ''poison. ''Since June 19, the FDA has flagged dozens of hand sanitizers that have traces of methanol, or were made in a facility with other methanol-containing sanitizers. In some cases, methanol wasn't a listed ingredient. In addition to methanol-containing products, the FDA is warning of ones that don't have enough active germ-killing ingredients to be effective. The FDA said any consumers who come across a suspicious product, including hand sanitizer, should report it to their MedWatch program.
