Prosecutors have called back to the stand Georgia Longstreet, a paralegal for the Manhattan district attorney's office.

Longstreet testified last week to introduce some of Trump's social media posts into evidence.

Trump, sitting at the defense table, has been working diligently -- scribbling notes and thumbing through a stack of papers, marking some of them, and then placing them in another pile.

When court resumed after the mid-morning break, Judge Juan Merchan handed the defense a victory -- ruling to block the state's effort to include an excerpt of an interview Trump did with Larry King in 1999 as evidence.

"You are asking the jurors to draw an in inference that because Mr. Trump knew the laws in 1999, he knew them in 2016," Merchan said in denying the request. "That's a lot of speculation."

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg entered the courtroom with prosecutors following the break. Trump turned around to look at the gallery before he sat down, appearing to spot Bragg.

Merchan signaled that the proceedings will likely end early today, after the prosecution calls its final two witnesses of the day.

Prosecutors next called custodial witness Jenny Tomalin, who works for Verizon, to testify about call records for former Trump CFO Allen Weisselberg's Verizon mobile phone.

Prosecutors may refer to calls between Weisselberg and Michael Cohen when Cohen testifies next week.

Jurors saw toll records from Weisselberg which appeared to stretch to hundreds of pages, showing each of the calls placed and received by Weisselberg. The records detail the length of each call in minutes, as well as the date, time, origination, destination, and the other phone number.

After Tomalin's direct examination concluded she stepped off the stand and court broke for the mid-morning recess.

Prosecutors called Daniel Dixon, who works as a lead compliance analyst at AT&T, to testify as a custodian of records about cell phone data.

Prosecutors used his testimony to enter into evidence phone records for Michael Cohen's company phone that jurors will likely see later when Cohen testifies.

As Dixon testified, Trump leaned forward in his chair with a yellow highlighter in hand, flipping through and marking up a stack of papers.

Defense attorney Emil Bove then did a detailed cross-examination of Dixon, as part of an effort to cast any possible doubt on records related to Cohen.

Dixon then stepped off the stand, with he and Trump exchanging tight smiles as he passed the defense table.

Merchan took defense attorney Susan Necheles to task for her failure to object to a line of inquiry about whether or not Donald Trump used a condom during his alleged encounter with Stormy Daniels.

"For the life of me, I don't know why Ms. Necheles didn't object," the judge said.

Merchan emphasized that Daniels testimony was necessary because Trump's lawyers continue to deny the encounter occurred.

"That pits your client's words against Ms. Daniels' word," the judge said.

"These details add a sense of credibility if the jury chooses to believe them," Merchan said. "Your motion for a mistrial is denied."
