Digging deeper into Reality Winner's work history

It followed Monday's Justice Department announcement that NSA contractor Reality Winner had been charged with leaking classified information to the press.

Winner's mother, Billie Winner-Davis, said in a CNN report that her daughter was a linguist with the Air Force in Maryland and speaks Pashto, Farsi and Dari - languages widely spoken in Iran and Afghanistan.

In one tweet, victor said she would support Iran if Trump chose to go to war with the Islamic republic.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan's time would be better spent addressing the terrorism in his own city instead of attacking U.S. President Donald Trump, the president's son said in an interview that aired Tuesday morning.

SAN FRANCISCO Russian hacking of the 2016 USA election included sophisticated targeting of state officials responsible for voter rolls and voting procedures, according to a top secret US intelligence document that was leaked and published this week, revealing another potential method of attempted interference in the vote. The announcement came hours after the Intercept published a report citing a classified document detailing the NSA's conclusion that Russian military intelligence had executed a cyberattack on at least one USA voting systems company, and had targeted local election officials.

According to several press accounts, victor was a linguist in the Air Force for six years, trained in the main languages of Afghanistan and Iran, Pashto, Dari and Farsi, and had held a top-secret security clearance.

Winner-Davis added, "That they were going to make her disappear". "I don't know how to explain it". The affidavit also noted that victor had signed up for an Intercept podcast on her work computer using a personal email account.

It also said the release of her affidavit and search warrant "contain unproven assertions and speculations created to serve the government's agenda".

"At this stage, all I can say is that my client has no prior criminal history", he said.

But Winner's Facebook page does mention reaching out to Sen.

Winner's defense attorney, Titus Thomas Nichols, would not confirm whether she was being charged with leaking the NSA report cited by The Intercept. She is accused of "removing classified material from a government facility and mailing it to a news outlet", according to a federal complaint.

Regardless of what may have led to the indictment of Winner, Snowden voiced his concern that such charges are harmful to freedom of speech and the free press.

Reality Winner's parents family home is just East of Ricardo, but her parents are in Augusta, Georgia where Reality works and where she was arrested. "She believes in always doing what's right".

In late May, Winner took her brief trip to Belize, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and her social media postings.

"She's never ever given me any kind of indication that she was in favor of that at all", her mother said.

The NSA document claims that Russian military intelligence probed a USA vendor of software used by voter registration agencies in eight states, using a hacking method of little sophistication, to gain information needed to send spear-phishing emails to dozens of local election agencies, majority at the county level.

Texas-raised Reality Winner, 25, is an intelligence contractor with Pluribus International Corporation, which provides services to the National Security Agency (NSA).

An affidavit by Federal Bureau of Investigation agent Justin Garrick said the government found out about the leaked documents from the news outlet that received them.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested victor at her home in Georgia on Saturday.

The Intercept contacted the National Security Agency and the national intelligence director's office about the document, and both agencies asked that it not be published.
