SCHILLER:

I was in the Navy 4 years, yes, sir. I was a radioman in the US Navy.

3\\

SWALWELL: You also worked as an NYPD police officer?

SCHILLER: Correct. Twelve years. Just my interest to be, you know -- to serve, serve the community. And I just thought, you know, it was an interesting career,
something that I wanted to do at a fairly young age.

4\\

SWALWELL: And what types of assignments did you have when you
were a police officer?

SCHILLER: Well, regular street patrol and then narcotics, you know.
Predominantly, at the end, narcotics enforcement.

5\\

SWALWELL: And you had worked for Mr. Trump for approximately
10 years. Is that right?

SCHILLER: At least. I started in '99.

SWALWELL: And would you say it's fair to say that you trust
Mr. Trump?

SCHILLER: Do I trust him? Yes, sir.

6\\

SWALWELL: Mr. Schiller, how did you first meet Donald Trump?

SCHILLER: Well, the long story is I met his -- one of his family members in Manhattan DA's office. And then I saw they had a security person. I
inquired. And then I was referred to by a Manhattan assistant DA.

7\\

SCHILLER:

Because there's two parts of the building, one is commercial and one is residential. The residential 66th floor is where he lived on the top. He would come down to 24, cross over, and then go to the business, the
commercial side. And he was on 26. Crossway.

8\\

SWALWELL: When Mr. Trump was in Las Vegas -- when Mr. Trump goes to Las Vegas, does he normally stay at the Trump hotel in Las Vegas?

SCHILLER: For the most part, yes, sir.

SWALWELL: Where else would he have stayed at?

SCHILLER: Maybe the Wynn, Wynn property.

9\\

SWALWELL: Miss Universe Pageant in Moscow was held on November 9th, 2013.
You went to that?

SCHILLER: Yes, sir. By plane. It's the -- I believe it was Phil Roughen's plane, sir. I understand that they're partners in business.

10\\

SCHILLER:

My concern was that Russia is well known as a country of surveillance and cameras, video, audio, and that that's always a problem when you're traveling to Moscow or Russia. Russia it was just more of a concern.

11\\

SWALWELL: Did Mr. Trump have any meetings other than his
appearance at the pageant?

SCHILLER: Yes. Yes, sir.

SWALWELL: He did. Who do you remember him meeting with?
SCHILLER: I know he met with the Agalarov -- the family, the father
and son.

12\\

SWALWELL: Do you recall whether anyone stayed in Mr. Trump's
room with Mr. Trump?

SCHILLER: Not that I'm aware of, sir, no.

SWALWELL: Okay. Did you observe Mr. Trump have any visitors to
his room?

SCHILLER: No, sir.

13\\

SWALWELL: Is it possible that somebody could've visited his room and you wouldn't have known about it?

SCHILLER: Highly unlikely, sir. Because I was there, yes, sir.

SWALWELL: Ylu were in another country, you were protecting him, right?

SCHILLER: Yes, sir.

14\\

SWALWELL: Did you observe Mr. Trump on that Moscow trip have
an extramarital affair?

SCHILLER: No, sir.

SWALWELL: Were you aware of anything like that happening?

SCHILLER: Nothing that I'm aware of, sir

15\\

SCHILLER: When did the President first meet Roger Stone in your
presence?

SCHILLER: In my presence? Sometime early on in my career.
When I started there, I believe he was in the office, he came to the office.

WALWELL: Regular visitor to
the office?

SCHILLER: No

16\\

SCHIFF: Did Emin Agalarov ever tell you that he was going to send prostitutes to Mr. Trump's room?

SCHILLER: Did Emin, sir?

SCHIFF: Yes.

SCHILLER: Not that I'm aware of.

SCHIFF: Well, you'd be aware if he told you that, right?

SCHILLER: If he told me? Yes, sir.

17\\

SCHILLER:

Someone else, I believe in jest, had mentioned sending women to the room, but I don't recall it was Emin. Well, someone had asked -- and, again -- after one of the meetings. I believe he was joking, because I immediately told him, absolutely not don't do that.

18\\

SCHILLER:

But I don't know who it was. It was somebody within the room. And I would know -- I know Emin, and I know it wasn't him. But I believe it was one of the people that were partaking.

19\\

SCHIFF: Well, who else was in the room apart from the Trump
delegation? Would it have been your Russian counterparts?

SCHILLER: Well, the Agalarov family, the father and the son, and
several other people. But I don't know who they were. [Not Goldstone]

20\\

SCHIFF: So someone not part of your delegation suggested that they might send women to Mr. Trump's room?

SCHILLER: Yes. Joke -- I thought it was a joke,

SCHIFF: Mr. Trump's reaction?

SCHILLER: He laughed. We both laughed. I told him I shut it
down immediately.

21\\

SCHIFF: So you concerned that he might be serious?

SCHILLER: It was just something -- it was an offer that something
that I know he - we just would never do. So serious or not, I made sure he
understood very clearly that it was not happening. And that was the end of it.

22\\

SCHILLER: I can't speak for the adviser. I don't know who that was.
And I didn't -- I shared it with someone later on while I was at the White House.

SCHIFF: And who was that?

SCHILLER: Two people. It was Reince Priebus and counsel -- and counsel.

23\\

SCHILLER:

I don't recall the exact conversation, specifics about that, other than that. And the reason why I recall it, because several days later it was in the press. I don't know what article, but I was a little taken aback.

24\\

SPEIER: Along those same lines, Mr. Schiller, did Mr. Trump ever talk negatively about President Obama?

SCHILLER: Not that I'm aware of, sir -- I'm sorry, ma'am.

SPEIER: That's all right.

SCHILLER: Media, in the media, maybe. But I don't recall any
specifics.

25\\

QUIGLEY: So were you concerned that he still might try to do
something like this?

SCHILLER: I wasn't concerned because it seemed like it was a half a joke. But I knew that I would not allow that. Mr. Trump would never consent to that. So I just knew it wouldn't happen.

26\\

SWALWELL: Was this the first time anyone had ever come up to you
and offered to send women up to Mr. Trump's room?

SCHILLER: I believe so, sir.

27\\

SWALWELL: Well, who told you to do it?

SCHILLER: Who told me to do it?

SWALWELL: Yes.

SCHILLER: I was told by Hope Hicks to deliver the envelope. It was in the Oval; I went in to get it.

SWALWELL: Where was it in the Oval?

SCHILLER: At the President's desk.

28\\

SWALWELL: Okay. And what did the President say to you?

SCHILLER: They said, "Can you take this to the FBI building and
deliver to it the Director?"

SWALWELL: Did you know what was inside the letter? Who told you what was inside?

SCHILLER: Yes, sir. Hope, I believe

29\\

SWALWELL: Throughout your term at the White House up until the point you delivered that. letter, you had never heard President Trump once speak to you or around you
about Director Comey?

SCHILLER: Other than on TV?

SWALWELL: That's right.

30\\

SWALWELL: Has the President talked you about Bob Mueller?

SCHILLER: No, sir.

SWALWELL: Have you seen Bob Mueller in the Oval Office?

SCHILLER: No, sir. Not to my -- in my recollection
