Donald Trump's attorney general suggested he could quit after the president 'lashed out' at him, it was reported Tuesday night.

Jeff Sessions made the suggestion amid 'friction' with the president, ABC News reported.

The network said Trump had repeatedly attacked the country's most senior prosecutor in private meetings over his decision to recuse himself from any aspect of the Russia investigation in March.

Trump is reportedly still angry about Sessions' decision, which at the time was widely reported to have been made against the president's own wishes.

Threat to quit: An angry and fixated Trump has lashed out repeatedly at Jeff Sessions for recusing himself from the Russia probe - and now the attorney general is threatening to quit, according to sources

Trump is reportedly still angry about Sessions' decision, which at the time was widely reported to have been made against the president's own wishes

Trump only heard about Sessions' decision moments before he publicly announced it and he now blames the expansion of the Russia investigation on his recusal, ABC reported.

The outlet said it had been told by 'multiple sources' that Sessions' 'recusal is one of the top disappointments of his presidency' and that he is 'fixated' on it.

The report that Sessions has threatened to resign comes days before James Comey, the fired FBI director, is due to give evidence about his removal and the Russian investigation.

Another recent report claimed Comey told the attorney general in February that he didn't want to be left alone with the president.

Comey approached Sessions just one day after Trump asked Comey in a private meeting, to end the FBI's investigation into his former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, officials told The New York Times.

Former FBI Director James Comey told Attorney General Jeff Sessions in February that he didn't want to be left alone with President Donald Trump, according to reports

Comey allegedly approached Sessions just one day after the president asked the then-FBI director to end the investigation into his former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn

The then-FBI Director did not tell Sessions of the president's request, he only said private meetings between the FBI director and the president were 'inappropriate', according to the Times.

He believed Sessions should protect the FBI from White House influence.

Sources told the outlet that Sessions could not guarantee the president wouldn't try to have another private conversation with Comey.

The Washington Post also reported Tuesday that Trump approached Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats in March, and told him to make the FBI back down from investigating Flynn's ties with Russia.

An anonymous source told the paper that Trump stopped Coats after a meeting on March 22, less than a week after Coats was confirmed and just two days after Comey confirmed the FBI was investigating collusion between Trump's campaign team and Russians.

Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats told colleagues Trump asked him to interfere in the FBI's Russia probe in a private March 22 meeting, sources say

According to the source, CIA Director Mike Pompeo was also present for the conversation.

Coats is set to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee Wednesday, the day before Comey's testimony. Coats is expected to be questioned about his interactions with Trump.

Though he conferred with his colleagues about the president's request, he decided against doing what the president asked because it would be inappropriate, the source said.

Sean Spicer would not say Tuesday whether the president has confidence in Sessions.

Spicer told reporters that he has 'not had a discussion' with the president on the topic.

He said: 'If I haven't had a discussion with him about a subject, I tend not to speak about it.'

Comey, who was fired by Trump on May 9, is expected to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee Thursday to give evidence about his removal and the Russian investigation

Sessions recused himself from investigations into Russia meddling in the 2016 presidential election and possible ties between Moscow and Trump's campaign after he failed to disclose a conversation with Russia's ambassador to the United States during his confirmation hearing

Sessions recused himself from investigations into Russia meddling in the 2016 presidential election and possible ties between Moscow and Trump's campaign.

That was after he failed to disclose a conversation with Russia's ambassador to the United States during his confirmation hearing.

The New York Times reported that the president has 'grown sour' on Sessions, partially because he blames the recusal for the eventual appointment of former FBI Director Robert Mueller as Special Counsel for the investigation.

Trump has also criticized the Justice Department on Twitter in recent days.

The president said on Monday that his Justice Department sent a 'watered down travel ban' to the Supreme Court.

'The Justice Dept. should have stayed with the original Travel Ban, not the watered down, politically correct version they submitted to S.C.' he wrote.

He added: 'The Justice Dept. should ask for an expedited hearing of the watered down Travel Ban before the Supreme Court - & seek much tougher version!'

Walter Dellinger, who was the acting solicitor general under former President Bill Clinton told the Times: 'I believe it is unprecedented for a president to publicly chastise his own Justice Department.'
