Apple removes Donald Trump song featuring J6 Prison Choir from iTunes

Apple temporarily pulled former President Donald Trump’s debut single, “Justice For All,” from iTunes on Thursday after the hit single spent a week at number one on the iTunes chart, Kash Patel told Breitbart News.

Trump released “Justice For All” less than two weeks ago. The song features the “J6 Prison Choir,” an ensemble of January 6 prisoners who can be heard singing the national anthem as Trump recites the Pledge of Allegiance.

Notably, the song topped the iTunes chart, staying at the top spot for seven consecutive days. The song beat out Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers”, Tim McGraw’s “Standing Room Only” and Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” for the top spot on the iTunes chart.

The song was sold for $1.29, with all net proceeds going to “certain J6 families in need”. The song has sold over 22,000 digital downloads since its March 3 release through Monday, March 13.

However, the song was temporarily pulled from iTunes for a few hours on Thursday, thereby removing the song from its top spot on the charts, Patel told Breitbart News.

Patel, who served as national security chief during the Trump administration, was instrumental in producing “Justice for All.”

A senior Apple Music official told Patel that the song’s removal was due to “miscommunication”.

“It appears there has been a miscommunication between our communications department and our music operations team,” the Apple Music rep told Patel. “The issue has been escalated and should be back on our platform soon.”

Apple did not respond to Breitbart News’ request for comment.

Patel noted the charity aspect of the song and told Breitbart News that “if we raise funds for Ukraine” the song would not have been removed.

Patel told Breitbart News:

It’s no surprise that the suppression of free speech and charitable efforts has now extended to the music entertainment industry and Apple Music. They released a song that was number one on their own charts for seven straight days, and the only reason they have is because it’s miscommunication. If we fundraised for Ukraine, like Brad Paisley did, they would never release this song.

Patel also said that Apple claimed an intern may have been responsible for the song’s removal.

Since Thursday evening, the song has been back on the iTunes platform for purchase but has not regained its number one spot on the charts. Currently, the number one song on the iTunes chart is “Trump Won” by Natasha Owens.
