Headline: Leonard Cohen's estate objects to use of Hallelujah at Donald Trump rally

Caption: Representatives for Leonard Cohen's estate have objected to the use of the song Hallelujah at a rally hosted by U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday night. At the opening ceremony for the Great American State Fair staged at the National Mall in Washington D.C., the American leader welcomed guests to the show, which was held as part of a series of events celebrating 250 years of the United States. But before the spectacle, a spokesperson for the late Cohen's estate issued a statement via Instagram in which they slammed organisers for plans to include a performance of the 1984 classic track.
