Mother of Accused NSA Leaker Reality Winner: My Daughter Wasn’t Read Her Miranda Rights
Today we spoke with Billie Winner-Davis, the mother of accused NSA leaker Reality Leigh Winner, who faces 10 years in prison. Winner is a former National Security Agency contractor who has pleaded not guilty to charges she leaked a top-secret document to The Intercept about Russian interference in the 2016 election. She has been now jailed for nine months, brought into a courtroom this week in an orange jumpsuit and shackles.
“What I want for her, what I need, is for everybody to keep her in the focus,” says Billie Winner-Davis. “Say her name. I want everybody to know who Reality Winner is and what is happening to Reality Winner. It’s very, very important that she be remembered and that people not forget what she is going through, the battle that she faces, that she is being silenced, that she is being hidden away, she is locked away. And I really want everybody to remember her name, to speak her name, to talk about her. That’s what I want.“
