"The family has filed a lawsuit against the Republican National Committee, Donald J Trump, and several other parties for copyright infringement", writes Hayes III.
With reference to music rights, the family wants 3 million dollars, equivalent to approximately 31 million kronor, for the occasions when "Hold on, I'm comin" was played during campaign meetings between 2022 and 2024.
