Here's what we know about her so far. Winner is a federal contractor with top secret security clearance. She had been assigned to a US government agency facility in Georgia since February 13. Though she is active on social media, posting statuses and photos of her CrossFit ventures, she only followed 50 people, including Edward Snowden, WikiLeaks, and Anonymous. Winner was a linguist in the US Air Force and speaks Pashto, Farsi and Dari, her mother, Billie Winner said. However, she appears to be anti-Donald Trump.
