By Chad Pergram | Fox News
Congressional lawmakers who want to hear from the Ukraine call whistleblower are looking at the possibility of conducting a secret session away from the U.S. Capitol complex, Fox News has learned.
Talk of such a meeting comes amid concerns about protecting the identity of the whistleblower, along with worries over safety and media scrutiny.
Fox News is told nothing is nailed down, but lawmakers hope to have a meeting of some sort next week.
“Bringing someone up here [to Capitol Hill] is tough,†said one congressional source who asked to not be identified.
It’s unclear where lawmakers could hold such a forum with the whistleblower. A secure facility exists on Capitol Hill, as well as in various quarters of government – ranging from the Department of Justice to the intelligence community.
