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.”

CONCORD, New Hampshire Drone Video
August 31, 2020
Welcome to New Hampshire's colorful capital city! This burgeoning town of more than 43,000 Concordians was home to the 14th President, Franklin Pierce, whose house you can tour while visiting (it's the Pierce Manse in this video). While here, check out the other sites in this video, including the State House, Legislative Office Building, State Library, Department of Justice, McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center, NH Technological Institute, NH Historical Society, and the awesome array of shops in the city's commercial center.
More than one thousand years ago, a strong Native American people called Penacook inhabited present day Concord. In 1726, the English colonized the area, calling the town Rumford. The city earned its new name in 1765 after a bitter land dispute between the towns Rumford and Bow struck a concord. Concord was named capitol of New Hampshire in 1807, after Sam Blodget opened a canal there to allow logging boats from the Amoskeag Falls area to reach the Boston docks.
This town revolutionized America by contributing the Concord Stagecoach, which was the #1 way people traveled west during the American Manifest Destiny years. Another contributor to American science is teacher and astronaut, Christa McAuliffe, who died in the space shuttle Challenger disaster January 28, 1986. The city's science museum and planetarium are named after her and Admiral Alan Shepard.

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...
