Reality Winner, the former NSA contractor accused of leaking classified documents, is seeking her release from jail before her case goes to trial.
Winner, 25, has been remanded in Lincoln County Law Enforcement Center in Georgia, after it was decided that she was too much of a flight risk to be allowed out on bail during her arraignment on June 9.
She was charged with ‘willful retention and transmission of national defense information,’ after allegedly leaking documents about Russian hacks on the US presidential election to a media company.
On Sunday, Winner and her mother Billie Jean Winner-Davis, both submitted letters to the court asking for her release.
