US President Donald Trump has launched another tweetstorm against Democrats, tearing into the House of Representatives impeachment inquiry as the procedure is set to enter a public phase.

In a barrage of Twitter posts early Saturday morning, Trump published 17 messages attacking the Democrat lawmakers behind the impeachment, calling them "do nothing Dems" and "losers" in one tweet.

But the Witch Hunt continues. After 3 years of relentless attacks against the Republican Party & me, the Do Nothing Dems are losers for America! https://t.co/met2y8VoPe

Democrats in the lower chamber of Congress launched an impeachment inquiry against Trump in September after a whistleblower alleged the Republican president pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, who had served as a director for Ukrainian energy company Burisma.

Trump has dismissed the Ukraine scandal at the center of the impeachment as a "Witch Hunt" and "Democratic Hoax".

In the Twitter posts, he specifically went after some of the witnesses for the probe who have testified against him behind closed doors, questioning their credibility.

Several witnesses testified that there was a quid pro quo surrounding Trump's dealings with Ukraine.

President Trump in a July phone call repeatedly pressured the president of Ukraine to investigate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son, a report says.

Meanwhile, Democrat lawmakers have gathered enough evidence to prove that Trump breached his oath of office by seeking to involve foreign countries in US domestic politics.

The House’s impeachment inquiry will enter its next phase next week when a Democratic-led congressional committee holds its first public hearings on the issue.

Trump's Saturday morning tweetstorm shows to what extent the House’s impeachment inquiry has consumed the president's attention.

Some of Trump's fellow Republicans in Congress are worried that Trump should equally share time on his legislative duties

The complaint comes as more than half the +1000 days that Trump has been in office as the President of the United States, he spent most of the days either at one of the Trump properties, or at a Trump golf resort.
