NEW YORK (AP) 鈥� The White Stripes sued former President Donald Trump on Monday in a case that alleges he used their hit song 鈥淪even Nation Army鈥� without permission in a video posted to social media.
The band has accused Trump and his presidential campaign of copyright infringement for playing the song's iconic opening riff over a video of Trump boarding a plane for campaign stops in Michigan and Wisconsin last month.
The Trump campaign did not immediately return an emailed request for comment.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Manhattan, said the band was also objecting to Trump's use of the song because members Jack White and Meg White 鈥渧ehemently oppose the policies adopted and actions taken by Defendant Trump when he was President and those he has proposed for the second term he seeks.鈥�
Several have previously criticized Trump for at rallies. Last week, a federal judge in Atlanta ruled that Trump and his campaign must stop using the song after a lawsuit from the estate of Isaac Hayes Jr.
