Former
Fox News personality and friend of Donald Trump, Geraldo Rivera, turned on the president late last year, saying he cannot be 'trusted to honour the constitution'.
Since then, he has publicly criticised the president and his
administration several times, including calling him 'an ill-mannered bully' for his treatment of Ukrainian president
Volodymyr Zelensky – and saying that if he had the chance, he'd punch Trump's adviser Stephen Miller in the nose.

'You know, I'm an old man now. I've been a boxer all my life. I've given it up because of my frailty,' the 81-year-old told MSNBC's The Beat in an interview in January. 'But I would come back to punch Stephen Miller in the nose because he is the most hideous, in terms of his [immigration] policy.'
Rivera may describe himself as an 'old man' but that hasn't stopped him dating – and marrying – younger women, including wife Erica Michelle Levy. Here's what you need to know about her.
