In his third interview with Washington police and FBI agents, Mr Condit acknowledged that his relationship with Ms Levy was more than a friendship, says a source.
Mr Condit had been less direct in describing the relationship in two earlier interviews, the source says.
Mr Terrance Gainer, Washington's second-ranking police official, would not discuss the details of the interview, which Mr Condit attended with his lawyer.
But Mr Gainer said at a news conference that Mr Condit was fully cooperative, answering every question he was asked.
"The congressman was not a suspect before the meeting, the congressman was not a suspect during the meeting and the congressman is not a suspect since the meeting," Mr Gainer said.
Police had wanted more clarity from Mr Condit, a Democrat from California, about the nature of his relationship with 24-year-old Ms Levy, whose home in Modesto, California, is in Mr Condit's district.
Mr Gainer says police still don't know what happened to Ms Levy, who has not been seen since April 30th.
