A frustrated MSNBC host threw her script to the side during an impassioned discussion about Donald Trump's criticism of a New York State justice's daughter. 

Nicole Wallace appeared on MSNBC's Deadline: White House on Friday, joined by former federal Judge Michael Luttig, MSNBC's John Heilman, Lisa Rubin and Glenn Kirschner.

'So, you know, it's time to do something different,' the host said, lobbing her prepared remarks off-camera.

'Like, we're not going to have this conversation again! I have come on the air with breaking news about requests for gag orders because of threats for judges and their kids more times than I could count today before I got ready.'

The panel was discussing Trump's remarks about New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan's daughter, Loren.

MSNBC host Nicole Wallace tossed her prepared remarks to the side during a heated discussion about Donald Trump's criticism of Justice Juan Merchan's daughter

'I have come on the air with breaking news about requests for gag orders because of threats for judges and their kids more times than I could count today before I got ready,' Wallace said

Merchan is overseeing Trump's hush money trial in New York, where prosecutors allege the former President falsified documents about payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 campaign.

Wallace apologized to the person who 'has to write the banner at the bottom of my show' before adding: 'Donald Trump broke the rule of law.

'We should cover a broken judiciary in this country. Donald Trump managed to delay every federal, criminal trial based on facts that he barely denies.'

Her remarks came days after Justice Merchan imposed a gag order on the former President, blocking him from speaking about 'reasonably foreseeable witnesses,' lawyers working on the case, court staff or their families.

However, the order did not include Merchan or his daughter, prompting prosecutors to ask for clarification on Friday.

Trump seized the loophole, taking to social media to heap his frustrations on the judge and his daughter.

'Judge Juan Merchan is totally compromised, and should be removed from this TRUMP Non-Case immediately,' Trump posted to Truth Social on Thursday.

He then directed his rage at 34-year-old Loren, alleging she was the owner of an account on X, formerly Twitter, that depicted an image of Trump behind bars.

'His Daughter, Loren, is a Rabid Trump Hater, who has admitted to having conversations with her father about me, and yet he gagged me,' Trump professed.

'She works for Crooked Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Adam 'Shifty' Schiff, and other Radical Leftists who Campaign on 'Getting Trump.''

After being hit with a gag order barring him from talking about people working on the case - but not Justice Merchan and his daughter - Trump lashed out on social media

In remarks posted to Truth Social, Trump deemed Justice Merchan 'totally compromised' and asserted that he should be removed from the case

Loren Merchan, pictured with her husband, formerly served as an executive at Authentic, a digital marketing agency that works with Democratic candidates

Trump has lashed out at the 34-year-old in the past, including in April of last year, where he slammed her work with Kamala Harris and the Biden-Harris campaign

The controversy surrounding the X account prompted the court to release a statement clarifying that the handle once belonged to the judge's daughter. However, she deleted the account a year ago and someone else has since taken it over.

These were not the first remarks Trump made about Loren's political leanings. The 34-year-old formerly served as an executive at Authentic, a digital marketing agency that works with Democratic candidates including President Joe Biden.

In a post to Truth Social in April 2023, Trump once again went after her, blasting her for working with ''Kamala' & now the Biden-Harris campaign. Kangaroo court!!!'

The former President's legal team argued last year that Justice Merchan should recuse himself, claiming that his daughter stood to benefit financially from his decisions.

But he declined, citing a state advisory committee on judicial ethics that determined his impartiality could not 'reasonably be questioned.'

The hush money trial is set to begin April 15.

It centers on a case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, which has seen Trump charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records.

Trump, who is the presumptive GOP nominee in the upcoming presidential election, has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

He has asserted that the case is politically motivated and denied having sex with Daniels.
