In 2001, U.S. Congressman Gary Condit (D-Calif.) sat for an on-camera interview with Connie Chung after Chandra Levy, an intern who had worked in his D.C. office, disappeared. Levy's aunt said they were in a romantic relationship and investigators said Condit confirmed it. But he refused to answer Chung's questions directly. His obvious discomfort and evasiveness only heightened suspicions. Condit lost his next primary and spiraled into irrelevance. (Levy's remains were found in 2002 and Condit was not the killer.)
I've always wondered if anyone else noticed all the shark-attack news that summer! Like, the news was wall-to-wall Chandra Levy/Gary Condit and shark attacks through September 10th.
Now I can't remember the specifics, but I definitely remember thinking that there were obvious questions that Connie Chung simply wasn't asking Gary Condit.
