NSA whistleblower Reality Winner released from prison

Reality Winner, a US Air Force veteran jailed for leaking classified documents, has been released from federal prison, her lawyer said Monday.

“I am thrilled to announce that Reality Winner has been released from prison,” attorney Allison Grinter Allen posted on Twitter. “She is still in custody in the residential reentry process, but we are relieved and hopeful. “Her release is not a product of the pardon or compassionate release process, but rather the time earned from exemplary behavior while incarcerated,” the lawyer said.
