NEW: Trump's longtime bodyguard, Keith Schiller, has received $225,000 so far from the RNC, through his one-man consulting firm. cnbc.com/2019/02/08/fir…
Last year, the RNC told CNBC that Schiller had been hired to consult on a site for the 2020 GOP convention. That process ended in July, but Schiller is still making $15,000 from the RNC.
Schiller's payment is the last remaining contract left from 3 unusual expenses the RNC started paying in fall of 2017. One was rent at Trump Tower, one was Mike Pence's nephew's salary, and the 3rd was $15,000 a month to Trump's former bodyguard.
33 days after Schiller went on the RNC's payroll, he told House Intel that he/Trump "declined" the offer of prostitutes in Moscow in 2013, and that he didn't recall any contact btwn the Trump campaign and Russia in 2016.

In that 33 days, RNC paid him $30,000.
When CNBC reported on the RNC paying Trump Tower rent and Pence's nephew's salary last year, the RNC quietly stopped paying them. But the money to Schiller never stopped.

If it continues for Trump's 1st term, Schiller stands to make $585,000 in GOP donors' money.
While the RNC has been paying Schiller $15,000 a month, the Trump campaign has paid more than $94,000 in bills for Schiller's lawyers. Consulting fees + lawyers' bills = Approx. $320,000 in the past 15 months. cnbc.com/2019/02/08/fir…
