Committee spokesman Garrett Ventry told The Hill that Grassley is willing to send committee staff to speak with Christine Blasey Ford in California, where she is a professor at Palo Alto University.

Grassley separately told reporters on Wednesday that he is offering four potential venues to hear from Ford, including a public or private hearing before committee members, or public or private interviews with committee staff.

"We’re going to continue to try to hear from Dr. Ford in any format she's comfortable [with] open session/closed session/private staff interviews/public staff interviews [because] her information is very important. We’ve provided an opportunity for her to put her story fwd," Grassley tweeted.
