We review the district court's evidentiary rulings deferentially for abuse of discretion. United States v. Rommy, 506 F.3d 108, 137 (2d Cir.2007). "On review of a district court's ruling on a motion to suppress evidence, we examine findings of fact for clear error, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the government, and we apply de novo review to the district court's conclusions of law."
