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.

Emergency! Behind the Scenes Facts & Secrets
September 11, 2020
Fans of the pioneering TV series Emergency! probably already know that it was a spin-off of the shows Dragnet and Adam-12. Jack Webb and Robert Cinader, co-produced the show with unprecedented attention to detail and realism to usher in a bold new genre of municipal services based TV shows.
NBC would follow the pattern laid out here with later popular offerings like Law & Order and Chicago Fire. Not only was Emergency! entertaining, but it was also borderline educational.
The excellent script was supported by a truly superb cast. Roy DeSoto and John Gage, played by Kevin Tighe and Randolph Mantooth respectively, made up the Station 51 dynamic duo. Then we had Dr. Kelly Brackett - played by Robert Fuller - and Dixie McCall, the lovely nurse played by Julie London, to round out the cast that was packed for of heroes and heartthrobs that grabbed audiences by the stethoscopes and kept us coming back for more.
Emergency!, was an amazing series and Jack Webb was one amazing TV producer. Not only did he help launch shows like Dragnet and Adam-12, but he was a quintessential founder of the municipal services themed TV show. Most notably, he was the producer of Emergency!, a show created by Robert Cinader and Harold Bloom.
Emergency!, follows Squad 51, EMS responders from Station 51 in Los Angeles County. Randolph Mantooth, Kevin Tighe, Julie London, Bobby Troup, and Robert Fuller gave us some breathtaking performances in this show that captured realism in a way that audiences had yet to see on television.

You're not going to want to miss this video. You'll never look at the show the same way ever again.
