CNN reports:
A federal judge has ruled former President Donald Trump and his campaign must pause on using the song “Hold On, I’m Coming.” The decision came after the estate of the late R&B artist and songwriter Isaac Hayes sought an emergency injunction to stop the Trump campaign from using the song at campaign events, alleging the campaign does not have approval.
Judge Thomas Thrash Jr. made the ruling from the bench in court in Atlanta, Georgia. “I do order Trump and his campaign to not use the song without proper license,” he said.
Ronald Coleman, an attorney for Trump, told members of the media after the hearing that “the campaign has no interest in annoying or hurting anyone. And if the Hayes family feels it hurts or annoys them, that’s fine, we’re not going to force the issue.”
