In a recent filing, Trump&#8217;s lawyers revealed that he plans to transfer $5.5 million to a court-controlled account as a security deposit.<\/p>\n<p>The Manhattan jury&#8217;s verdict, which Trump is currently appealing, prompted his legal team to seek the deposit of $5,500,000 to the New York federal court. Attorney Joe Tacopina outlined this in a filing on Friday.<\/p>\n<h3>Approval from Judge Lewis Kaplan<\/h3>\n<p>Later on Friday, Judge Lewis Kaplan approved the arrangement, clarifying that if Trump&#8217;s appeal is unsuccessful, Carroll will receive the $5 million awarded to her by the jury. However, if the former president&#8217;s appeal is successful, the security deposit will be returned.<\/p>\n<p>In the event that the appeal case is remanded to the court for further proceedings, the funds will remain under the court&#8217;s control until the amount awarded to Carroll becomes final and un-appealable. The deposit is expected to be made within five business days of the order.<\/p>\n<h3>The Lawsuit and Future Trials<\/h3>\n<p>E.

Judge Kaplan granted Carroll&#8217;s request to amend her original civil suit against Trump to include his comments made at a CNN town hall in May.<\/p>\n<p>Judge Kaplan previously denied Tacopina&#8217;s request to delay the trial date for Carroll&#8217;s successful lawsuit.
