Condit threatens
to sue over stories
Missing woman, 24, only a 'good friend'
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON, June 7 - Rep. Gary Condit has hired a lawyer and
demanded that news organizations retract stories about the
nature of his relationship with Chandra Levy, 24, which has
come under media scrutiny since she disappeared April 30.
'False statements, statements taken out of context and sheer
innuendo and rumor have been published as fact.'
- MIKE LYNCH
Rep. Gary Condit's chief of staff POLICE ARE TREATING
the disappearance as a missing person's case, rather than a
criminal matter.
Condit has called Levy "a good friend," but some media
reports have quoted unidentified sources as suggesting the two
were "romantically involved." Condit's office has denied any
romance.
Mike Lynch, Condit's chief of staff, said in a
statement Thursday that Condit had hired San Francisco-area
lawyer Joseph Cotchett "to send a letter to the Washington
Post and other media outlets" seeking retractions.
'FALSE STATEMENTS'
"Today's Washington Post article is just the latest
example of false statements attributed to an anonymous police
source," Lynch said in a statement.

"False statements, statements taken out of context
and sheer innuendo and rumor have been published as fact,"
Lynch said. "Photos have been doctored to mislead the public.
... Congressman Condit has fully cooperated with law
enforcement officials, and will continue to do so."
Levy was a graduate student at the University of
Southern California and had just completed an internship with
the Federal Bureau of Prisons when she disappeared.
She had planned to return to attend graduation
ceremonies in Los Angeles, and her bags were found packed in
her Washington apartment.
