Twitter removes video from Trump's page after musician Eddy Grant files complaint

Twitter removes video from Trump's page after musician Eddy Grant files complaint

Donald Trump and Eddy Grant

Earlier a video shared from the official White House account was pulled down over Digital Millennium Copyright Act Notice. The video had used a Linkin Park music which the band stated had been used without their permission.

The video, which Trump tweeted August 12, had been viewed nearly 14 million times before Twitter took it down Tuesday night. The video featured an animation with which a Trump/Pence train runs through a vacant town followed by Joe Biden on a pump trolley.

Grant sued Trump and his campaign on Tuesday, accusing them of "willfully and wrongfully" infringing on his copyrights.
Over the years, many musicians have slammed Trump for using their music without their consent.
