This exchange lasted about half an hour from around 4pm on Monday, during the continuation of Mr Jumabhoy's cross-examination of Mr Nathan.
Deputy Principal District Judge Luke Tan then asked the prosecution to provide those documents to him so he could read through them before making a decision tomorrow morning.
Mr Nathan was one of two then-WP cadre members who were in close contact with Ms Raeesah Khan. Ms Khan, a former WP MP for Sengkang GRC, had lied in parliament on Aug 3, 2021 about having accompanied a rape victim to a police station.
The aftermath of her lie and how WP leaders, in particular Singh, dealt with it led to Singh being implicated as he is accused of lying to the COP about what he wanted Ms Khan to do in a certain period in 2021 - to tell the truth or maintain her lie.

The redacted messages in question are from a chat group Mr Nathan had with Ms Khan and Ms Loh Pei Ying.
After Ms Khan admitted in parliament on Nov 1, 2021 to lying, a COP was convened to look into her conduct, and Ms Loh gave evidence to the COP about what she knew about the incident, along with Mr Nathan.
Both Ms Loh and Mr Nathan testified to the COP about hearing from Ms Khan that party leaders wanted her to maintain the lie up till Oct 12, 2021, when a decision was made to come clean.
This was after Law Minister K Shanmugam pressed Ms Khan in parliament on Oct 4, 2021 for further details on the police station incident. Ms Khan doubled down on her lie.
In a line of questioning on Monday afternoon, Mr Jumabhoy questioned Mr Nathan on redacted messages from a group chat he had with Ms Khan and Ms Loh, that he had presented to the COP.
