Trump pays $5.55 million into court pending appeal of defamation ruling in favor of E. Jean Carroll

Trump was ordered to pay $5 million in damages to E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of raping her in the 1990s.
Trump is appealing the ruling and deposited the full amount plus interest, $5.55 million, with the court pending the appeal outcome.
If Trump's appeal fails, the money will go to Carroll; if successful, Trump will get the money back plus interest.
The deposit was proposed by Trump's lawyer and agreed to by Carroll's team to ensure she receives payment if the ruling is upheld.
Trump could end up paying Carroll $10 million more in a separate defamation lawsuit she brought over his denial of her rape accusation.
