He claimed there were “big questions” over Mr Trump’s dealings in Scotland.
The White House has repeatedly refused to say what the outgoing president will do when Mr Biden is inaugurated on January 20, prompting speculation about whether Mr Trump will attend the ceremony.

Judd Deere, the deputy White House press secretary, told Fox News: ‘Anonymous sources who claim to know what the president is or is not considering have no idea. From Huffington Post:
“President Donald Trump will face âdue accountabilityâ if evidence is found linking his Scottish golf resorts to money laundering or other financial fraud, the leader of the Scottish government said this week.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon spoke out Wednesday in Parliament in response to a call from the co-leader of the Scottish Green Party to seek an âunexplained wealth orderâ to determine the source of funding for Trumpâs $60 million cash purchase of his Trump Turnberry golf resort in 2014, when his U.S. tax returns showed vast losses that allowed him to avoid paying any income taxes. Trump also owns the Trump Aberdeen resort in Scotland.
The Scottish leader said she wouldnât protect âthe soon-to-be former president of the United Statesâ from âdue accountability in Scotlandâ if wrongdoing is found. An investigation, including an unexplained wealth order, would be up to the Crown Office, the independent public prosecution system in Scotland, Sturgeon added.
