    Ivanka Trump has stepped out for a quick break.

    In her absence, the lawyers are arguing with the judge about whether some of the evidence being shown is outside the statute of limitations.

    Judge Engoron keeps overruling the Trump team’s objections that they are. He’s using the break to explain his reasoning - that deals done in the past carry significance for future financials.

    Chris Kise, Donald Trump’s lawyer, disagrees.

    The prosecution also spells out their justifications for showing the documents leading up to the Deutsche Bank loans in this case.

    Lou Solomon - of the prosecution - says they’re showing them as part of their case that the Trumps “induced Deutsche Bank to make loans they should not make at those rates”.
