A woman seated behind Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman as he testified at the House Intelligence Committee caused a viral moment when she was caught on camera tilting her head back and downing a large cup of coffee.
The brunette woman in glasses, seated to the back left of Vindman, appeared to glance over at the camera before turning and continuing to chug.

Some folks identified the background coffee drinker as McClatchy Congress reporter Emma Dumain, and she told The Post: “Yes, I can confirm.”
Viewers found Dumain’s thirst for getting to the bottom of a cup of Joe both entertaining and relatable.

Vice staffer Colin Jones tweeted: “When the coffee is just that good.”
