Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump's longtime aide and current director of Oval Office operations Keith Schiller has told people he intends to leave the White House, three sources familiar with the decision told CNN.

Schiller has told associates within the last two weeks that he plans to leave the White House at the end of September or in early October, the sources said. Schiller has told people his primary reason for leaving was financial, the sources said. Schiller earns a $165,000 annual salary at the White House -- a downgrade from his annual earnings before he followed Trump to the White House.
Schiller's planned departure comes just over a month after Kelly became chief of staff with the mission of instilling new order inside Trump's often chaotic White House. But Trump has chafed at some of Kelly's attempts to restrict access to the President.

Now, Schiller's potential departure will leave Trump without one of his most loyal and trusted aides at his side at a time of tumultuous change at the White House. Schiller has been a constant presence at Trump's side for nearly two decades and was among a handful of aides from Trump's previous life as a businessman to follow Trump onto the campaign trail and into the White House.

[Madam45for2923]

3. LOL! I see now how you could read it like that.

[Thomas Hurt]

4. This is Donnie's long time and dead thug

That is pretty telling if your "bodyguard" is bailing on you.

who is going to fire people for Trump now. Trump might have to do it face to face like a man now.

[janx]

7. Yes, quite ironic

that this "body guard" was the one to deliver Comey's firing letter. I wonder if Mueller's team has talked to him...

[Scarsdale]

14. Anyone who has

been with tRump that long HAS to know what a nut job he is. Who would stay that long, unless the perks were REALLY good? Letting tRump treat him like an errand boy was not bad enough, so what finally made him decide to leave? Too hot in the kitchen??

[janx]

18. That's the only explanation I can think of.

[Wellstone ruled]

5. Oh oh,

did Mr.Mueller's people ask him a question or two.

[janx]

8. I just posted that same question!

6. I bet this character knows some shit!

Don't accidently land on some bullets while falling off a building, Mr. Schiller.

And I would avoid tea, all tea.

11. He should be careful around people with umbrellas as well. nt

[Scarsdale]

15. Stay away

from balconies or windows on upper floors.

[cstanleytech]

17. Also pools and be very careful near or in bathtubs and showers.

[Happyhippychick]

10. All of a sudden the salary is an issue? He didn't know that 7 months ago?

I'm sure it's that and has nothing to do with the hammer that's coming down. Very sure.

[janx]

12. Exactly.

"Schiller earns a $165,000 annual salary at the White House -- a downgrade from his annual earnings before he followed Trump to the White House."

So he was Trump's body guard before, but he earned more money then. After he quits, what is he going to do--find another guy like Trump?

[Scarsdale]

16. Dear God,

for everyone;s sake, please do not let there be "another guy like tRump" At least not walking around free.

[riversedge]

13. He is trumps long time body guard, deliverd the Your fired letter to Comey....

.....................The sources stressed that Schiller's reasoning was primarily financial, but one source said Schiller has also grown frustrated with the new system installed by White House chief of staff John Kelly aimed at restricting access to the President. Schiller has complained that he must call into the White House switchboard to reach Trump over the phone, one source said.
The former New York Police Department detective was entrusted with one of the most sensitive and controversial decisions of Trump's presidency, delivering a letter to FBI headquarters notifying then-FBI Director James Comey that Trump had decided to fire him.


As Trump continues to grapple with Kelly's more isolating measures, just two close aides who worked for Trump at the Trump Organization will remain at Trump's side: Hope Hicks, the White House communications director, and Dan Scavino, the social media director.
While Trump's other personal bodyguards left when the Secret Service took over as Trump's protective detail, Schiller remained at Trump's side, serving as a body man and personal aide who often had the best sense of Trump's mood and needs during the campaign.
The 6'4'' longtime aide also took on the task of removing the protesters who frequently disrupted Trump's rallies during the campaign.
Schiller first entered Trump's orbit while he was still an NYPD detective in 1999, snagging a part-time gig doing bodyguard work for Trump. Eventually, Schiller left the NYPD and became Trump's full-time bodyguard and later his head of security in 2005.

19. I guess the fun got too risky

Schtupping the boss' wife as the federales close in puts him in kind of a precarious position, no matter which way you look at it.

20. Maybe he got a better offer from the Russian mafia

[Bengus81]

21. Figures when Trump is gone in six months or so he can get his old $300k job back.

So tough to try and get by on a paltry $3,173.00 per week these days........
