The Scottish Parliament on Wednesday rejected a motion calling for the government to use the court to investigate the source of former U.S. President Donald Trump’s funding that allowed him to purchase two properties in Scotland.

Patrick Harvie, co-leader of the Scottish Green Party, brought forward a motion calling on ministers to seek an “unexplained wealth order” (UWO) against Trump over his acquisition of properties in Scotland before his presidency.
