Trump wealth order probe urged over Scottish golf resorts
27 February 2020
Scotland's first minister has been urged to use unexplained wealth orders to investigate how Donald Trump paid for his Scottish golf resorts.
Scottish Greens co-leader Patrick Harvie said the US Congress had heard concerns about possible money laundering involving some of the president's business deals.
He claimed there were "big questions" over Mr Trump's dealings in Scotland.
Mr Trump's son Eric said the claims had "no basis in fact".
He accused Mr Harvie of making "disgusting statements" that were "reckless, irresponsible and unbecoming for a member of the Scottish Parliament"
