NSA Leaker ‘Reality Winner’ Gets More Than 5 Years in Prison

Reality Winner, a 26-year-old Georgia woman, pleaded guilty to leaking classified report on Russian hacking of the 2016 U.S. presidential election to an online news outlet. Winner printed out a top-secret document detailing about the Russian hacking in her underwear and smuggled the report out of the NSA. The Intercept, an online publication that has been publishing classified NSA documents leaked by Edward Snowden, later published the five-page report on its website. Winner received “the longest sentence served by a federal defendant for unauthorized disclosure to the media,” prosecutors said.
