EXCLUSIVE: Trump's Former Bodyguard Keith Schiller and Ex-Trump Organization Executive Register as Unpaid Foreign Agents for Kazakhstan's Prosecutor General

Keith Schiller, President Donald Trump's longtime former bodyguard and onetime director of Oval Office operations, has registered with the Justice Department as an agent of Kazakhstan's Prosecutor General's Office, according to a Foreign Agents Registration Act filing reviewed by The Digital Free Press.

The registration, stamped as received by the Justice Department's FARA Registration Unit on Oct. 29, 2026, was filed by Javelin Advisors LLC, a Washington government relations firm that the filing says is co-owned and controlled equally by Schiller, former Trump Organization executive George A. Sorial and attorney Robert W. Seiden. The Justice Department assigned it Registration No. 7791.

According to the filing, the three men will work to arrange meetings between Kazakh and U.S. government officials on extradition cooperation, "including a potential bilateral extradition treaty." The filing states that the firm "receives no compensation for these services."

What the Filing Says

Javelin's Exhibit B states that the firm reached an oral understanding with the Office of the Prosecutor General of the Republic of Kazakhstan "in telephone conversations with Baurzhan Kurmanov, a representative of the Government of Kazakhstan, on or about October 27." The understanding "has no fixed duration and continues until terminated by either party," the exhibit says.

The firm's Exhibit A names the official it deals with as Deputy Prosecutor General Galymzhan Koigeldiyev. The filing says the work will include political activities as defined under FARA, and that the firm had not carried out registrable activities for Kazakhstan before registering.

The registration lists all three men as managing directors. It lists Sorial's citizenship as the United States, Egypt and the United Kingdom, and it says the firm was organized in Delaware on Nov. 13, 2024. Javelin's website describes Schiller as a former deputy assistant to the president and director of Oval Office operations, and Sorial as a 13-year veteran of The Trump Organization.

The registration also discloses a $5,000 political contribution by Schiller, dated Aug. 28, 2026, to "Team Ronny." Federal Election Commission records list Team Ronny as a joint fundraising committee affiliated with Texans for Ronny Jackson, the principal campaign committee of Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas.

Kazakhstan's Case for an Extradition Treaty

Along with the registration, Javelin filed a five-page informational document titled "Justification for a US-Kazakhstan Extradition Treaty," which it states it distributes on behalf of Kazakhstan's General Prosecutor's Office.

The document says the two countries signed a Treaty on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters on Feb. 20, 2015, which took effect on Dec. 6, 2016, but that the treaty "does not regulate the extradition of wanted persons." It says efforts to reach a bilateral extradition treaty have been underway since 2016 and that "in January 2025, Kazakhstan further advanced this initiative by submitting a draft Treaty to the U.S. side."

"According to INTERPOL information, approximately 50 persons wanted internationally in connection with crimes committed in Kazakhstan have been identified in the United States," the document states. It says a treaty "would enable requests for their extradition to be considered under an agreed legal framework." The document does not name any of those individuals.

The document argues that a treaty would also give the United States a way to seek suspects located in Kazakhstan, citing fraud, money laundering and cybercrime. It points to the Justice Department's 2020 acknowledgment of Kazakh help in an investigation of the hacking group Fxmsp, and to Kazakhstan's November 2020 extradition of U.S. citizen Trent Drexel Howard, which it says the Justice Department described as the first extradition from Kazakhstan to the United States.

The document says Kazakhstan is ready to use a modern U.S. treaty model as a basis for talks and to send experts to the United States "at any time convenient to the U.S. side." It adds that a treaty "would not, however, provide for the automatic extradition of wanted persons."

The document notes that under U.S. law, extradition "generally takes place pursuant to an international treaty," with limited exceptions.

The Digital Free Press emailed Javelin Advisors for comment at the address listed on the firm's website, but the message was returned as undeliverable.
