Papadopoulos was in Cleveland during the Republican National Convention where he was invited by the American Jewish Committee to speak on a panel about U.S. foreign policy, organizers said.

Possibly Israeli (Hebrew) and Russian? He sure did a lot of travelling last year and represented Trump in multiple high-level meetings with other heads of state. He sounds way more important than a coffee-boy.
