U.S. Intelligence Contractor Reality Winner Appears in Court in Georgia
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
