'There were three guns. They held one to me and then one in either direction of traffic. Not that there really was traffic, and then the driver stayed in the car. But they held the gun to my head and asked me for my password, and then I later found out that this group was looking for people's Cash App. Which is one of the other things they asked me for.' Police tracked down the car used by the suspects and got fingerprints. No arrests have been made. Former FBI special agent Jonathan Gilliam told Fox News Digital in an interview that the suspects wanted one thing: access to the victim's phone. 3 One of the individuals robbed, Tori Ledzema, said she was forcibly pushed to the ground by four individuals in ski masks while she was headed to Pilates at 5:30 a.m. FOX 32 Chicago Advertisement 3 Police tracked down the car used by the suspects and got fingerprints, but no arrests have been made.

'So what they're doing, and in particular, this is where it has evolved, in particular the female that was going to Pilates. They were asking for her Cash App. They wanted to get in her Cash App and get money that way. So this is something that people have to understand is that they may not be going after cash. They may be going after your apps and how to get into your apps.' 'If they can hold the phone up to your face, if they can beat you until you give them passcodes, they will go in and transfer money,' he said.

Poll Shows Widespread Disapproval and Suspicion of Trump's Handling of Epstein Files
Americans are overwhelmingly skeptical of Donald Trump's handling of information related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. In a new UMass Amherst national poll, 70 percent of respondents said Trump is not handling the Epstein case well, while only 18 percent said he is. Among respondents who were aware of Epstein, the deceased billionaire and convicted sex offender, 63 percent agreed that the Trump administration 'is hiding important information' about the case. Of those who said the administration is hiding information, a staggering 81 percent blamed Trump for it. Others in Trump's orbit also received blame, including Attorney General Pam Bondi (59 percent), FBI Director Kash Patel (49 percent), and House Speaker Mike Johnson (47 percent). Just 16 percent blamed Democrats in Congress. The president's overall approval rating also took a dive to 38 percent, down six points since April. This new data seems to back up reports that Trump has lost significant ground with his MAGA base over the Epstein issue. He came to power in part because his followers believed he would root out corruption and the deep state. But as news continues to break about his years-long friendship with Epstein amid reports that Trump is named multiple times in the files, the president's credibility is fading. Fifty-nine percent of poll respondents aware of Epstein said they believe he and Trump were 'once good friends.' Trump isn't helping himself either. He complained last week that Epstein 'stole' one of his victims from her job at Trump's Mar-a-Lago property. And the Bureau of Prisons under Trump recently transferred Epstein's longtime partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, to a lower-security facility after she met with Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche. Her move to a less strict prison has drawn scrutiny, considering Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking. When asked about what Maxwell and Blanche discussed, Trump said he thought Blanche 'just wants to make sure that innocent people aren't hurt' in case the Epstein documents are released. The administration, seeking to quell discontent and citing 'abundant public interest,' has asked two judges to release grand jury testimony from hearings to indict of Maxwell and Epstein on sex trafficking charges. But the administration is still facing pressure to release other documents the Justice Department possesses related to the case. Despite the administration's claims that no list of Epstein clients exists, 70 percent of poll respondents said they believe there is such a list. Attorney General Pam Bondi released a memo last month announcing that following an 'exhaustive review,' DOJ officials decided there was not evidence of an 'incriminating 'client list.'' That's despite Bondi herself saying in February that the list was 'sitting on my desk right now to review' when asked about it on Fox News. Trump, growing frustrated with his supporters criticizing him over Epstein, lashed out in a post on Truth Social last month: '[Democrats'] new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this 'bullshit,' hook, line, and sinker… Let those weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work,' he wrote. 'Don't even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don't want their support anymore.' Tatishe Nteta, director of the UMass Poll, tells Rolling Stone, 'What was once a discussion held on the fringes of American politics has in recent weeks become center stage, with stories concerning Epstein garnering immense coverage in newspapers and cable news programs. Americans have been paying attention as a whopping 96 percent of Americans have read, seen, or heard something about Jeffrey Epstein.' He adds, 'Given the widespread belief that President Trump has mishandled the release of information in this case and that the Trump administration is hiding information pertaining to the Epstein case, this controversy has the potential to do untold damage to the MAGA movement and a Republican Party already facing an uphill battle in the 2025 and 2026 midterm elections.' A Republican strategist familiar with Trump's political operation told NBC News last week that the Epstein issue could harm Republicans at the polls in 2026. 'This is a major problem and could hurt turnout in the midterms,' the strategist said. 'It signals betrayal to those who believed the president would expose the deep state. His team made promises, then doubled down.' 'For the base that believes the deep state is real and that Epstein was part of it, this feels like the ultimate knife in the back,' the strategist added.
