Trump Tweet of Nickelback Video Aimed at Biden Removed

Associated Press

   NEW YORK - Twitter has removed a tweet from President Donald Trump that
   featured an edited Nickelback music video clip that took aim at former
   Vice President Joe Biden.

   The post was removed because of a copyright complaint. It featured a
   doctored version of the band's 2015 music video "Photograph," showing
   singer Chad Kroeger holding a photo of Biden, his son, a Ukrainian gas
   executive and another man.

   Trump's tweet came as the president has repeatedly criticized Democrats
   for launching an impeachment inquiry into his telephone call with
   Ukraine's president in which Trump pressed for an investigation of his
   Democratic rival Biden and his son.

   A Twitter spokeswoman said Thursday it responded "to valid copyright
   complaints sent to us by a copyright owner or their authorized
   representatives."

   Nickelback representatives have not returned messages seeking comment.
