Who was the stern-faced young man sitting behind Jamie Raskin at the J6 hearing?

Couldn't tell if he was angry, or just intensely interested.

and was concentrating very intensely on every word and interacting with an older man on the other side of Kinzinger. They were kind of nodding and he seemed pleased possibly with how teleprompter and Kinzinger's speech went. I was surprised to see him behind Jamie Raskin later.

During the actual broadcast I was mainly listening (busy). On news programs though, they keep showing clips of Mr. Raskin which is where I saw the young man.

You're right in saying he was concentrating very intensely on every word. In a way it reminded me how Pence (ugh) would cow-eye Dump all the time, but this young man was genuinely interested in what was being said.

One thing for sure, his power of concentration seems tremendous. Whatever his job was at the hearing, he was really focussed on it.

About midway through the series of hearings he gave a video presentation of findings with some of his colleagues.

To me he looked like someone there to provide security, only missing the earpiece and sunglasses. Guess I was wrong.
