HeadlineFeb 28, 2018

In Georgia, U.S. intelligence contractor Reality Leigh Winner appeared in court in Augusta Tuesday, where her lawyers asked the judge to exclude her statements to FBI agents the day she was arrested, arguing she was denied her Miranda rights. Reality Winner has pleaded not guilty on charges of leaking a top-secret document claiming Russian military intelligence conducted a cyberattack on at least one U.S. voting software company just days before the November 2016 election.
