President Donald Trump has launched a campaign against Attorney General Jeff Sessions, during which he reportedly criticized Hybart native Sessions' Southern accent, according a report from POLITICO.

The president reportedly has told his aides Sessions is not capable of speaking on behalf of the president on television because he "talks like he has marbles in his mouth," POLITICO reported.

Trump also took issue with the fact that Sessions "doesn't have the Ivy League pedigree the president prefers." Sessions graduated from Huntingdon College in Montgomery and The University of Alabama School of Law.

The president has been talking about firing Sessions since early 2017, but recently criticized the attorney general on Twitter, calling on him to stop the "rigged witch hunt right now," in a tweet posted in early August.

"..This is a terrible situation and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further. Bob Mueller is totally conflicted, and his 17 Angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to USA!" Trump said in a tweet posted Aug. 1.

A series of tweets criticizing Sessions came Aug. 25.

"Jeff Sessions said he wouldn't allow politics to influence him only because he doesn't understand what is happening underneath his command position. Highly conflicted Bob Mueller and his gang of 17 Angry Dems are having a field day as real corruption goes untouched. No Collusion!," Trump wrote on Twitter Aug. 25.

Two White House aides told POLITICO Trump's latest push against Sessions was fueled by last week's conviction of Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen and former campaign manager Paul Manafort.

Trump told Fox News that Sessions "never took control of the Justice Department" and claimed he only gave Sessions the job was because he "felt loyalty."

On Tuesday, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said if Trump replaces Sessions, the new AG would have to promise the Senate he would allow special counsel Mueller to complete his investigation, the Washington Post reported.

Last week Graham said he approved of Trump's firing, telling reporters the president was "entitled to an attorney general he has faith in."

Updated Friday, Aug. 31 at 7:20 p.m. to clarify that Sessions is from the Selma area.
