Osama bin Laden and the World Trade Center | Hamas and the World Trade Center | President Bush, Colin Powell, and the Missing Possessive Pronouns | Congressman Gary Condit's Interview |
(1) CONNIE CHUNG: Congressman Condit, do you know what happened to Chandra Levy? |
REP. GARY CONDIT: No, I do not. |
(2) CHUNG: Did you have anything to do with her disappearance? |
CONDIT: No, I didn't. |
(3) CHUNG: Did you say anything or do anything that could have caused her to drop out of sight? |
CONDIT: You know, Chandra and I never had a cross word. |
(4) CHUNG: Do you have any idea if there was anyone who wanted to harm her? |
CONDIT: No. |
(5) CHUNG: Did you cause anyone to harm her? |
CONDIT: No. |
(6) CHUNG: Did you kill Chandra Levy? |
CONDIT: I did not. |
3. CHUNG: Did you ever make promises to her? |
4. CHUNG: Now when Mrs. Levy called you and said that her daughter was missing, and she asked you pointblank, she says, at a critical time in the investigation, as to whether or not you had an affair with her daughter, you answered, according to her, matter-of-factly, "No." Were you telling the truth? |
7. CHUNG: But... regarding the relationship in and of itself, are you suggesting that Chandra Levy's aunt did not have the correct information, or that Chandra Levy herself had created this affair as a figment of her imagination? |
9. CHUNG: And during that meeting, during that uh... uh... occasion on that, on April 24th, did you two discuss the future of your relationship? |
CHUNG: Did you talk to her... as a general rule, uh, often? Several times a...? |
CONDIT: (Overlap) Oh yeah, several times a week. |
CHUNG: Several times a week? |
CONDIT: Yeah. |
CHUNG: Not several times a day, every day? |
CONDIT: Not several times a day every day. |
CHUNG: And how often do you think she came to your... your apartment to visit you? |
CONDIT: Well, I provided all those details to uh, the appropriate people, the law enforcement people. They have that. And uh, it would be uh... best not to get... |
CHUNG: (Overlap) (Inaudible) forgive me, but... why are you reluctant to answer that question? |
CONDIT: Because that's... that's provided to law enforcement and the people who are responsible for fi-, for finding Chandra Levy. |
CHUNG: But I mean, if there was nothing wrong with it, why can't you say how many times she came to visit you? |
CONDIT: Because if I say a time to you, I may be... well, I don't know the amount of time off the top of my head, but... |
CHUNG: (Overlap) Could you give me a general idea? |
CHUNG: After that, what was uh... what was the next conversation that you had with her? Did you... do you recall when your last conversation with her was? |
CONDIT: I had a phone conversation with her on April the 29th, which lasted for about a minute. Uh... |
CHUNG: Just a minute? |
CONDIT: Uh, approximately a minute. |
CHUNG: She had called you repeatedly on that date. Correct? |
CONDIT: Well, no, that's not true... |
CHUNG: Her phone records show that. |
CONDIT: Well, that... I mean, she might have left a message. But you know, the news media reported that she made all these frantic calls. And that's just not correct. |
CHUNG: But her phone records show that she called you repeatedly. |
CONDIT: Her phone... she didn't make frantic phone calls to people. She may have placed a call to me. Uh, she had my voice machine, my voice uh... uh phone company voice answering machine. She may have called and left a message. But it doesn't indicate that I have a whole series of messages from her. |
CHUNG: All right, during that conversation uh, did she, was she upset about anything? Did you say... "We need to break up, break up our friendship?" Anything like that? |
CONDIT: No, no Connie. We never had a cross word. It was simply about her travel plans, that she was talking about going back to California. She was real excited about uh... going through her ceremony at USC. So she was real upbeat. |
CHUNG: She wasn't upset about anything? |
CONDIT: She wasn't upset about anything. She wasn't upset about losing her job. She, that, it was a little... |
CHUNG: (Overlap) She wasn't? |
CHUNG: Uh, did you speak with her again after April 29th? |
CONDIT: Uh, no. April 29th was the last conversation. |
CHUNG: So you're saying that you didn't expect to hear from her for about a week? |
CONDIT: Well, actually, I tried to call her, because I... |
CHUNG: When did you try and call her? |
CONDIT: I tried to call her probably the 30th or the 31st, or some time in that week. |
CHUNG: Uh, there, there is no 31st. Uh... it's either the 30th or May first. |
CONDIT: (Overlap) I mean, the 30th or May first. I ddi try to... well, maybe it was later in the week, because I had not heard from her. |
CHUNG: Uh-huh. And... you were expecting to hear? You, did you, you just said that you weren't expecting to hear from her for a week? |
CONDIT: (Overlap) Well, I thought I might... I, I thought I might hear her about her travel plans. She might leave a message and say she was taking a train or she wasn't taking a train. I never heard that. |
CHUNG: So did you call her, you're saying, on the 29th? |
CONDIT: (Overlap) Yes, I placed a call... |
CHUNG: Or the 30th. |
CONDIT: I, I placed a call on uh... sometime during the next few days, to try to find out what her travel plans were going to be. |
CHUNG: And you called her apartment? |
CONDIT: Yes, I left a... yes, left a message. |
CHUNG: And uh... did she ever call you back? |
CONDIT: No. |
CHUNG: Were you concerned? |
CONDIT: I was concerned that she had not called me back. But uh... but also just assumed that she had taken a train. And she told me the train was going to take four days. |
CHUNG: You can't remember exactly when you called? |
CONDIT: On the... ? |
CHUNG: Yes, when you called again. When you called, was it the 30th? May first? Second, 3rd, 4th? |
CONDIT: (Overlap) Well, it... it could've been... it could've been the first. It could've been the second. Somewhere in that time frame. |
CONDIT: (Overlap) The best in the country. |
CHUNG: (Overlap) But why won't you take one... from the police? |
CONDIT: (Overlap) We found the best in the country that... he trains the FBI agents who give the polygraph tests. And so we took the test. We passed the test. And his credibility is unchallenged by people in the industry. And I'm, I'm confused by the police chief's comment immediately after we take the polygraph test. He did not read the polygraph test. Uh, I think you'll find that people in the FBI now have seen the polygraph test, they can read the polygraph test, and it makes total sense to them. So we basically thought we were being helpful, just found the best guy we could find. And that's what we did. And I don't know if... |
CHUNG: (Overlap) Why, why won't you cooperate with uh, the Levy family investigators? And why won't you take... if you, if you are guilty of no criminal wrongdoing, if you're not guilty of any criminal wrongdoing, why don't you take a polygraph test given by the police, and cooperate with Chandra Levy's... |
CONDIT: (Overlap) But we've taken a polygraph test. And it, and it proves that I'm innocent. And it's by, it's by a... a guy who's one of the highest-regarded gentlemen in that field in the country. |
