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.”

Man Shoots Florida Burger King Worker Over Dispute About Long Line
August 03, 2020
A man in Florida is accused of murdering a Burger King employee over a dispute about how long it took for a woman to be served. The Orange County Sheriff's Office said Kelvis Rodriguez-Tormes, 37, has been charged with the first degree murder of 22-year-old Desmond Joshua following an incident at a parking lot in Orlando on Saturday. According to an arrest affidavit, seen by Newsweek, Joshua was working at a Burger King drive-thru at the time. The fast food restaurant was reportedly busy that night, causing the line to back up. One woman, identified as Ashley Mason, became angry at the length of time it took for her to be served and started shouting at Joshua, telling him that she was going to have "her man" come to the restaurant. The worker then refunded Mason $40 and asked her to leave. After waiting in the parking lot, Mason drove away in her black sedan and returned a short while later with another vehicle being driven by Rodriguez-Tormes. The suspect then demanded a fight with Joshua and put him in a headlock and began to choke him, police said. A witness then pulled Rodriguez-Tormes off Joshua, before the suspect went to his white truck to retrieve a gun. Rodriguez-Tormes told then the victim: "You got two seconds before I shoot you."The suspect is then alleged to have shot the 22-year-old before fleeing the scene. Joshua was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The Orange County Sheriff's Office said Joshua had only been working at the Burger King branch for a few days before he was killed. The affidavit said that during interviews, Rodriguez-Tormes told police that he had dismantled the gun used and placed it "in a location which cannot be located."Rodriguez-Tormes was arrested on charges of first degree murder with a firearm, destruction of evidence, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Mason was also questioned by police in the wake of the shooting after being identified as the woman who became irate in the Burger King line. This article has been updated with further details from the Orange County Sheriff's Office and a photo of the suspect.
