The Trump campaign has filed an emergency motion to postpone deposition in the Isaac Hayes music infringement litigation, following a preliminary injunction that bars them from using the song "Hold On, I'm Coming" at campaign events.

Isaac Hayes III, representing Isaac Hayes Enterprises, initiated legal action against the Trump campaign for unauthorized use of the song at various events, including the Republican National Convention. Federal Judge Thomas Thrash granted a temporary injunction until the case resolution.

The campaign's motion to postpone cites several key reasons:

• Deposition timing is premature following the preliminary injunction ruling
• Insufficient preparation time for defendants
• Plaintiffs haven't specified examination matters or provided required BMI documents
• Concerns over proper party representation regarding Turning Point USA, Inc.

The campaign faces additional legal challenges, including a separate lawsuit from Eddy Grant over unauthorized use of "Electric Avenue" in a Biden-focused campaign video. Grant seeks $300,000 in damages for the video, which received 13.7 million views before Twitter removed it.
