RNC reportedly pays Trump's former personal bodyguard $15,000 a month

President Donald Trump's longtime personal bodyguard has hit pay dirt, thanks to the GOP.

The Republican National Committee is paying former Trump aide Keith Schiller $15,000 a month for "security services," according to a report Wednesday.

A Republican official told CNBC that the party has hired Schiller's KS Global Group to consult on the site selection process for the 2020 Republican National Convention.

Schiller left his post as director of Oval Office operations at the White House in September.

He was reportedly upset with the pay cut he took by joining the administration and his limited access to his longtime boss after the appointment of White House chief of staff John Kelly.

CNN reported at the time that Schiller's White House salary was $165,000, a massive drop from his Trump Organization earnings, which equaled about $294,000 a year.

His firm has already collected $75,000 from the RNC since October.
