House Intelligence Committee testimony

NEW YORK – When senior White House officials wanted to know what mood the president was in before a meeting, they used to look for guidance from Keith Schiller, a man with a hangdog face who sat in a small, shared office off the Oval.

When friends and advisers outside the West Wing wanted to share a news article, gossip or advice with President Donald Trump, they would be advised to “send it to Keith, he’ll get it to me.” After Trump decided to fire FBI director James Comey, it was Schiller who was tasked with hand-delivering the letter.

On Tuesday, the former aide is due back in Washington, a city other aides said the lifelong New Yorker never liked or understood, to appear before the House Intelligence Committee for an interview as part of its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Schiller is expected to be grilled about Trump’s 2013 trip to Moscow—and the infamous 35-page dossier of compromising information about Trump’s behavior during a trip to visit the Miss Universe pageant, according to a report by the Washington Post.
