NEW YORK, June 23 (Reuters) - Donald Trump will deposit $5.55 million with a federal court as security while the former U.S. president appeals a jury verdict that he sexually abused and defamed the writer E. Jean Carroll.

Trump is appealing last month's $5 million verdict by a Manhattan federal jury, which said he defamed the former Elle magazine columnist last October by calling her claim that he raped her in the mid-1990s a hoax and a lie.

U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who oversaw the trial, agreed to the deposit proposed by Trump's lawyer Joseph Tacopina, whose law firm has been holding the $5.55 million.

Courts often require 111% of a judgment to be deposited during appeals.

Trump will be vindicated on the defamation suit as carrol has been a public figure for 30 years. She was a popular magazine columnist for 15 years and even had her own cable tv show in the 90s. Like trump, she has little access to libel laws.

BTW - she was only allowed to sue trump because NY deliberately wrote a law so she could sue him!!

Trump bragged about grabbing pussy. So...obviously he is innocent.
