WASHINGTON (AP) -- A federal judge has dismissed a slander lawsuit filed by former California congressman Gary Condit against author Dominick Dunne.
Dominick Dunne writes about crimes of the rich and famous.
Condit claimed that Dunne falsely accused him on the "Larry King Live" show of involvement in the 2001 murder of government intern Chandra Levy.
U.S. District Judge Peter Leisure of New York ruled Tuesday that Dunne's 2005 comments did not rise to the level of slander.
Levy's murder remains unsolved.
Condit's ties to her, including reports he told investigators they were sexually involved, cost him his House seat in 2002.
