Think tank calls Biden administration 'anti-transparency' as it heads to court to demand Prince Harry's US visa application to find out how he answered questions on drug-taking The Heritage Foundation wants the duke's visa application to be made public after he admitted using illegal drugs in his recent memoir 'Spare'  Tuesday's hearing will be focused purely on whether to fast-track that decision If Harry has lied on the official forms, he could face deportation from the U.S. 

Lawyers for a conservative think tank will later fire 'the opening salvo' in its bid to force the U.S. government to release Prince Harry's visa application.

Samuel Dewey, the foundation's lead attorney, said there could be a lengthy legal battle to force the Department of Homeland Security to disclose the paperwork.

'The key issue before the court today is whether or not to accelerate this process,' he told DailyMail.com. 'We did not yet raise our arguments about the merits of the case.'

'We will litigate those at a later date. This is the opening salvo and we look forward to prevailing against the administration's frankly frivolous anti-transparency position.'

Sources close to the case have repeatedly accused U.S. government officials of deliberately obstructing freedom of information requests.

Tuesday's hearing will be heard by the Donald Trump-appointed U.S. District Court Judge Carl Nichols.

Nichols is notorious in Washington legal circles for tossing some of the charges in rulings last year against those involved in the January 6th storming of the Capitol in 2020.

The hearing, a federal court in D.C. comes after Prince Harry gave evidence to English judges his case against the publisher of British tabloid the Daily Mirror.

He is suing Mirror Group Newspapers for damages, claiming journalists were linked to unlawful methods of information gathering.
