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.”

Goodbye Joe Biden, Hello President Harris
August 24, 2020
Do you feel the Bernie bern, yet? Feel the heat as cities explode in anger, fear, and economic pain. Feel the bern as protests and riots are fueled by the tears of those oppressed and attacked by an unjust criminal system. Hear the anguished cries of those who have had their life’s breath choked out of them by militarized police forces across this country. Have you gone deaf, Bernie?
Yes, I feel the scorch of the Bernie bern as your beloved party gives us your ‘friend’, Joe. You know, the guy who’s had 2 brain surgeries, the one who has admitted that he would veto Medicare for all in the middle of a damn pandemic! The one who has bragged about trying to cut Medicare and social security. The one who is so obviously in cognitive decline. Yeah, let’s elect the guy who doesn’t even know where he’s at half the time. How very progressive of you!
And as major cities across the country burn in protest over police brutality and a racist criminal justice system. Your friend, Joe, offers us a cop as a running mate. A running mate who’s record shows policies and procedures that are racially biased and unjust. Policies ranging from prosecuting black and poor folk for marijuana use, to jailing parents for child truancy...and laughing about both! This is the Joe you want me to vote for, Bernie? Are you fucking kidding me? Joe Biden may be your friend, but he’s no friend of mine nor of the working class of this country.
It seems to me that we now have a choice between a mentally deranged candidate and a mentally impaired candidate. However, I’m not sure that’s the real question. The real issue might be the choice between a dictator president and a self- proclaimed prosecutor president. (translation: dictator-wanna-be) You’ll have to forgive me if I fail to see a meaningful difference between those choices. The differences are only gender and/ or skin deep. Voters should at least recognize that a vote for Joe Biden is most likely a vote to install Kamala Harris as POTUS--probably sooner, rather than later.
"(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...
