ABC News reported that the offer was made against the backdrop of Trump's anger with Sessions over the latter's decision in March to recuse himself from dealing with any aspect of the Russian Federation case - a decision the president has repeatedly blamed for the expansion of the Russian Federation probe.
White House deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said "the president is not a liar" after former Federal Bureau of Investigation director James Comey blasted the White House for telling "lies, plain and simple" about the circumstances surrounding his firing last month.
Trump has repeatedly criticised Sessions" decision to recuse himself from any Russia-related investigation conducted by the justice department to his allies and advisers, terming the decision as "needless', The New York Times reports.
Trump's slow-burning fury apparently stems from Sessions' voluntary recusal from the sprawling federal investigation into Russian interference in the USA election, as well as any matters concerning the Trump campaign, according to a bevy of fresh reports from CNN, ABC News, the Washington Post and Politico.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions recently suggested he might resign.

Also, Siri can now perform translations in various languages like English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Spanish. Apple has also made a few updates to its MacBook Pro line that are likely to be attractive to music-makers.
Earlier in the week, it was reported that before Trump embarked on his first foreign trip, Sessions had offered his resignation to the president. "If I haven't had a discussion about a subject, I tend not to speak about it".
Trump is also displeased with lack of progress his Muslim ban has made in the court system, again assigning responsibility to Sessions.
A spokeswoman at the Justice Department declined to comment, and the White House did not respond to a request for comment.
Moreover, Sessions did not meet with Trump to discuss his recusal before taking the decision.
Two days before former FBI Director James Comey is scheduled to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee, President Donald Trump's world continues to unravel right before our very eyes. Mr Trump fired Mr Comey later that day. In a series of tweets, Trump called the new ban "politically correct", and said the Justice Department should seek a "much tougher version". CNN claims unnamed sources said that Sessions and Trump have had "heated exchanges".
