(21,425 posts)there is a Tweet by NWO Watcher that says Scotland has issued a subpoena to Trump. If he does not respond, they will seize his properties. Could get interesting.

(21,425 posts)Tweet claim, but could find nothing to support it. Plenty of articles about Scottish MPs pushing for a government investigation into the finances of Trump's Scottish properties, but nothing at all to confirm the tweet's claim that the Scots have actually taken action on this.
I did find that the Maryland AG has subpoenaed the Trump properties in regard to his Scottish holdings and the US emolments clause, but that's all I could find.

https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/11/scottish-mps-once-more-call-for-investigations-into-trumps-businesses/
A group of members of the Scottish Parliament led by the Green Party have renewed their demand that the Scottish government invoke an anti-money laundering law to investigate President Donald Trumps Scottish golf resorts. The request was first made last spring, but on Thursday, Patrick Harvie, a co-leader of the Scottish Green Party renewed his case in questions he directed to Scotlands First Minister Nicolea Sturgeon.
Now that Trump is set to lose immunity from prosecution in the U.S., he may be held to account there, isnt it time hes also held to account here? Harvie asked Sturgeon. Isnt it time for answers from the Trump Organization?

From the beginning, Trumps investments in Scotland have seemed unusual. As the self-proclaimed King of Debt, Trump has built almost all of his signature projects with other peoples money. His Scottish resorts appear to be funded with his own fundsbut based on personal financial disclosures he has filed as president, its not clear how Trump has been able to generate that much cash. The recent series of articles by the New York Times, based on copies of Trumps tax returns, suggest that Trump has used a variety of tacticsincluding some legally dubious onesto bolster his liquidity, but Harvie says there hasnt been sufficient explanation of how Trump is paying for Aberdeenshire and Turnberry.
In an interview with Mother Jones this summer, Harvie said the lack of financial clarity and Trumps reputation and associations with convicted money launderers like Paul Manafort, are more than sufficient reasons to demand the Scottish government take a closer look.
This is not someone who inspires confidence in sound finances and sound business, he said. The fact that there are many allegations floating around that the US authorities have investigated, whether its in relation to Russia or his political dealings domesticallyyou dont have to sniff the air very long to see theres something that smells.
