Linkin Park has said it has issued a cease and desist order after the band’s music appeared in a video supporting Donald Trump.
The video, which featured the 2001 song In The End, had been posted by the President’s director of social media Dan Scavino and retweeted by Mr Trump.
It was disabled by Twitter following the report of the copyright violation.
The band wrote on Twitter: “Linkin Park did not and does not endorse Trump, nor authorize his organization to use any of our music. A cease and desist has been issued.”
In The End is one of the group’s biggest hits featuring frontman Chester Bennington, who took his own life in 2017.
They are the latest musical group to take legal action against the Trump campaign and its supporters over use of songs.
