The whistleblower who triggered the impeachment investigation into Donald Trump’s dealings with Ukraine has offered to answer written questions from Republican members of Congress.

Days after Republican representatives stormed a closed door impeachment session, the whistleblower, via his lawyer, proffered an olive branch to the GOP.

Mark Zaid, the attorney representing the whistleblower, has said his client would reply directly to questions from Republican legislators - without requiring them to be submitted via the Democrat-controlled House Intelligence Committee.
