CBS News reports that Abbe D. Lowell, Rep. Gary D. Condit’s attorney, has announced that the congressman has taken and passed a polygraph “test” in connection with the whereabouts of Chandra Levy. Excerpt:
(CBS) Gary Condit’s lawyer says the embattled congressman has taken and passed a lie detector test – one administered independently, and not by D.C police or the FBI.
Attorney Abbe Lowell announced Friday afternoon that Condit took the test, which was administered by an expert he says the FBI has used on some of its biggest cases.
Lowell told reporters that Condit was asked if he had anything to do with Chandra Levy’s disappearance, did he harm her or cause anyone else to harm her, and does he know where Levy can be located. He said those were the only questions from the test that were pertinent to the Levy investigation and the only ones he was willing to discuss.
Lowell said the result of the polygraph showed “the congressman was not deceptive in any way.” He said the raw data from the test is being sent to the FBI and District police.
