Condit cornered by disapearence of intern
Three years after Monica Lewinsky America is again gripped by a sexual scandal between a politician and an intern. Since her affair with Congresmember Gary Condit, Chandra Levy is missing. The calls for the resignation of Condits grow louder.
Three and a halve months after the mysterious disappearence of Chandra Lecy (24), Gary Condit stopped bieng silent. Monday he said it was 'terrebly unjust' that some media already scentenced him, while the investigation still is being carried out.
De Democratic Party member of the House reacted to the comments of two newspapers in his state California, the Modesto Bee and the Fresno Bee, that want him to resign. The Modesto Bee accused Condit, who only after three police hearings admitted to having an affair with Levy, of 'repulsive behavior', because he did make false statements during the investigation to disrupt it.
Earlier this month the Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein in California already attacked Condit. In a written statement she said to her party-colleage 'that by refusing to speak up and to be honest towards the public, the publics thrust in politics has been damaged, and because of that his integrity and credebility as Representitive have been washed away'.
Police sees Condit (53), married and father of two children, not yet as a suspect. At first police even did not link him and the disapearence of the young woman. But since it is know that Condit lied twice to the investigators about having an affair with Levy, he is under heavy fire from the media.
The rest of the article is about her disappearence. If you want me to translate it, let me know. It's 1 in the morning here in the Netherlands and I am off to bed. (sorry if there are errors in it)
