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.”

NBC Reporter Amy Jacobson Bikini Scandal Video
July 08, 2008
It's been a year since former NBC 5 reporter Amy Jacobson appeaed in a bikini at the home of Craig Stebic, husband of still-missing Lisa, a move that resulted in Jacobson's release from NBC 5.
This former television reporter sued a rival Chicago TV station Monday for $1 million, claiming it aired a videotape of her in a swimsuit at the home of a man whose estranged wife had vanished to boost ratings.
Amy Jacobson, who lost her job with NBC affiliate WMAQ-TV last July, claims in the suit that CBS station WBBM-TV broadcast the video "with the sole motive of boosting its sagging ratings" and portrayed the veteran broadcaster "as an adulteress and disreputable reporter."
The court papers which claim the following:
* Seven parties, including CBS Broadcasting, several CBS 2 employees, a Northwestern University professor, and the owner of the home from which the video was shot are named as defendants.
* Jacobson's four year-old son still cries when her unemployment is mentioned.
* The tape had 150,000 viewers in its first day and led to "more than a million stories and comments" on the internet.
* The Law & Order episode based on the incident reflected an industry-wide perspective of Jacobson as an "unethical person" and further hindered her career.
* CBS 2 attempted to pass the tape off as theirs even though it was shot by a neighbor, defendant Tracy Reardon, who "had a grudge against Craig Stebic and intensely disliked Amy Jacobson."
The papers turn downright catty at one point: "Even the well-known and discredited CBS defense of 'fake but accurate' won't work this time; because the story is both fake and inaccurate."
The papers also detail Jacobson's alleged rise from food stamps to six-figure salary as well as some behind-the-scenes chicanery between CBS 2 and NBC 5 regarding each other's coverage of the Stebic story prior to the Jacobson brouhaha.
Jacobson has said she originally intended to take her kids swimming at Chicago's East Bank Club before she detoured to the Plainfield home of Craig Stebic, whose wife had vanished two months earlier and remains missing to this day, at the invitation of Stebic's sister.
So who's at fault, readers? Did CBS 2 portray her unfairly? Is the knock to her reputation unfair or did she bring this upon herself?
"(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...
