The 25-year-old woman who stole \u201cTop Secret\u201d documents from the National Security Agency and leaked them to The Intercept appears to be a supporter of Bernie Sanders and other progressive icons, such as Bill Maher and Michael Moore.<\/p>\n
Reality Leigh Winner\u2019s apparent social media footprint also shows that she is a supporter of other liberal causes, including the Women\u2019s March and the Islamic Society of North America, the Muslim civil rights group.<\/p>\n
She also recently referred to President Trump as a \u201cpiece of shit\u201d because of his position on the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) protests.<\/p>\n
Winner was indicted in federal court on Monday after she allegedly stole classified documents from her employer, Pluribus International, a defense contractor that does work for the NSA from its offices in Augusta, Ga.<\/p>\n
Winner admitted to FBI agents that she stole the documents and provided them to The Intercept. The news site published an article on Monday that appears to be based on the stolen materials.\u00a0The Top Secret records show that Russian agents attempted to hack into U.S. voting systems prior to the November election.<\/p>\n
The federal complaint filed against Winner reveals that she stole the classified documents on May 9, four days after they were published by the NSA. She printed the report and sent it through ground mail to The Intercept. On May 30, a reporter with the outlet contacted the NSA inquiring about the documents. The agency then contacted the FBI, which dispatched agents to interview and apprehend Winner at her home in Augusta.<\/p>\n
