The San Francisco Chronicle reports a federal grand jury is going to investigate the case, and it will likely call the California congressman who's been caught up in the center of it.
Congressman Gary Condit denies having had an affair with Levy,

The Chronicle says the grand jury will allow Washington police and the F-B-I to subpoena records, including Condit's cell phone bills.
Police want those records to learn more about the congressman's relationship with Levy.

((As martial arts movies go, "Kiss of the Dragon" has
all the requisite elements. Lots of violence,
delivered in a variety of ways; and an adept and in
this case appealing hero, Johnny, played by Jet Li.
What it also has unfortunately is Bridget Fonda
looking uncomfortable in a role she can't seem to
quite figure out.
Jet Li is a policeman from China who is sent to Paris
to help uncover a heroin smuggling ring. But it is all
a set up. Inspector Richard, the Paris policeman he
has been assigned to help, is a bad guy, a really bad
guy. He is involved not only in smuggling, but
prostitution and other vices. Inspector Richard has
brought in Johnny-as he calls him- to take the fall
for a murder. But Johnny escapes. Against incredible
odds and with lots of thugs searching Paris for him,
he manages to steal an incriminating tape and at the
same time, tries to help a prostitute rescue her
daughter from Richard's clutches.
Most of the movie involves bad guys trying in a
variety of ways to kill the elusive Johnny and Johnny
getting the better of them, most of the time, anyway.
He uses some intriguing weapons including billiard
balls, hot irons, laundry hampers and acupuncture
needles. Unlike some martial arts heroes, Johnny gets
wounded and winded.
There is nothing new here, but those who like lots of
martial arts action will enjoy it. They won't enjoy
Fonda.
