Reality Leigh Winner (born 1991)[5][6] is an American U.S. Air Force veteran and former NSA translator. In 2018, she was given the longest prison sentence ever imposed for an unauthorized release of government information to the media[7] after she leaked an intelligence report about Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.[8] She was sentenced to five years and three months in federal prison.[9]
On June 3, 2017, while employed by the military contractor Pluribus International Corporation, Winner was arrested on suspicion of leaking an intelligence report about Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections from the National Security Agency (NSA) to the news website The Intercept. The report indicated that Russian hackers accessed voter registration rolls in the United States with an email phishing operation,[10] though it was unclear whether any changes had been made.
Concerns were raised that The Intercept's handling of the material exposed her as the source and contributed to her arrest.[11] Twice denied bail, Winner was held at the Lincoln County Jail in Lincolnton, Georgia.[12] On August 23, 2018, Winner was convicted of "removing classified material from a government facility and mailing it to a news outlet" and sentenced to five years and three months in prison as part of a plea deal.[13] She was incarcerated at the Federal Medical Center, Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas, and released to a transitional facility on June 2, 2021.[14][15][16][17]
A month after being honorably discharged from the Air Force in November 2016, Winner moved to Augusta, Georgia, where she taught at aCrossFit gym and a yoga studio.[18] Winner applied for jobs with NGOs in Afghanistan, hoping to use her Pashto language skills with refugees. However, her search for overseas employment was frustrated by her lack of post-secondary education.[18] Still possessing a top-secret security clearance,[18] Winner was then hired by Pluribus International Corporation, a small firm[18] that provides services under contract to the National Security Agency.[25][26][27][28] On February 13, 2017, Pluribus assigned her to work at Fort Gordon,[22] a U.S. Army post near Augusta, where she had once been stationed while in the Air Force.[18]
Assigned to translate documents relating to Iran's aerospace program in Persian,[18] Winner was employed by Pluribus International Corporation at the time of her arrest.[30] It was in this position that she actively searched for classified reports on Russian election interference, despite such material being outside the scope of her security clearance, and ultimately came across the classified document that she subsequently anonymously mailed to The Intercept. Winner told CBS's 60 Minutes that she leaked the classified material because she thought Americans were being intentionally misled about Russia's active measures to influence the outcome of the 2016 United States presidential election.[31]
Winner was charged with "removing classified material from a government facility and mailing it to a news outlet."[43] On June 8, 2017, she pleaded not guilty to a charge of "willful retention and transmission of national defense information" and was denied bail. Prosecutors alleged she may have been involved in other leaks of classified information, and might try to flee the country if released.[39][44] Justice Department lawyers also argued that her defense team should not be allowed to discuss any classified information, even if it was in news reports published by the media.[45][46]
On June 21, 2018, Winner asked the court to allow her to change her plea to guilty.[57] On June 26, she pleaded guilty to one count of felony transmission of national defense information.[58][59] Winner's plea agreement with prosecutors called for her to serve five years and three months in prison followed by three years of supervised release.[60] No one has ever received a longer sentence for leaking classified information to a media outlet.[32]
On August 23, 2018, Winner was sentenced to the agreed-upon five years and three months in prison for violating the Espionage Act of 1917. Prosecutors said her sentence, 63 months in prison, was the longest ever imposed in federal court for an unauthorized release of government information to the media.[9] At her sentencing, Winner told the judge, "My actions were a cruel betrayal of my nation's trust in me."[61] The New York Times reported, "Under the plea agreement, Ms. Winner will be transferred to the Federal Bureau of Prisons Federal Medical Center, Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas, where she can receive treatment for bulimia and be relatively close to her family."[9]
In 2019, Tina Satter staged the play Is This a Room, based on the transcript of Winner's interview by the FBI.[71][72][73] Is This A Room was given its Dutch premiere at the 2019 Noorderzon Festival in Groningen in the Netherlands,[74] and was further presented in New York City at the Vineyard Theatre later that year.[75] Is This A Room ran on Broadway at the Lyceum Theater, opening on October 10, 2021, and closing November 27.[76] Winner was not involved with the production during its initial Off-Broadway run and was unable to see the Broadway production due to still being under house arrest, but spoke with the creative team extensively following her release from prison and video-called into the opening night performance's curtain call.[77]
