Reality Leigh Winner, 26, pleads guilty to one count of violating the Espionage Act. Prosecutors’ plea deal calls for her to serve 63 months in prison. Winner, a former U.S. Air Force linguist, was arrested on June 2, 2017, just hours after The Intercept published a report based on classified material. The Intercept has been pilloried with allegations that it failed to protect its source by having sent photos of the document to Winner’s employer, which passed it on to the government. Winner’s mother, Billie Winner Davis, writes that the plea agreement was in her daughter’s best interests.”]
