, which asked if the president planned to kick the prince out of the country amid ongoing questions about his immigration status.

“I don’t want to do that. I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible,” he told the Post.

The Heritage Foundation, the right-wing think tank behind Project 2025, the presidency blueprint that Trump has been heavily mirroring in the early weeks of his second term, has been pushing to know more about the prince’s immigration status and records ever since the royal admitted to using drugs in the past in his memoir, Spare.

The think tank wants Harry’s immigration paperwork released, arguing there’s a possibility the Duke of Sussex lied on his forms about his past drug use or received special treatment from Joe Biden’s administration to enter the U.S.

They want to know so badly, in fact, that they sued the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) after it rejected the Heritage Foundation’s Freedom of Information Act request to release Harry’s record.

On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols focused largely on how to handle a trio of sworn statements from DHS officials on why the agency was fighting the records request.

Those statements have not been seen by the Heritage legal team, and Nichols is considering whether to release part or all of those declarations to the Heritage Foundation. The judge — who has been shown some, but not all, of Harry’s immigration records — said he’s also considering whether to request more records from the government and whether to call in an outside expert as a consultant.

Years later, in 2019, before a presidential visit to the U.K., Trump dismissed her comments, saying: “I didn’t know she was ******.” A year later, he said, “I’m not a fan of her. I wish a lot of luck to Harry, he’s going to need it.”

When the next election rolled around, as Trump faced off against Biden, Harry appeared in a video, urging people not only to vote but also to “reject hate speech, misinformation, and online negativity” — words that many took to be a thinly veiled swipe at Trump.

Last year, before he was elected, Trump told Express U.S. tabloid that he
