Lawsuit Seeks Probe Of Trump’s Scottish Resort Buys

Reuters reports:

The Scottish government is facing a new legal challenge over its February rejection of a motion to investigate former U.S. President Donald Trump’s all-cash purchases of two golf courses, reviving an effort to force Trump to disclose how he financed the deals.

Avaaz, a global human rights group, filed a petition in Scotland’s highest court seeking a judicial review of the Scottish Parliament’s 89-to-32 vote against issuing an “unexplained wealth order” to Trump’s business. The proposed order sought details on the source of the money the Trump Organization used to buy the courses in 2006 and 2014.

The petition, which has not been previously reported, was served on Scotland’s government on Monday. It was filed with the court late on Thursday.
