If the recording of a conversation is legal if only one party is aware of the recording, it means it's ok to make the recording. Does it also mean the recording can be presented as evidence against the unaware party in a legal proceeding?
Federal law permits recording telephone calls and in-person conversations with the consent of at least one of the parties. See 18 U.S.C. 2511(2)(d). ... Under a one-party consent law, you can record a phone call or conversation so long as you are a party to the conversation.
From 2011 so I don't know if it still applies:
In 12 states—California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington—all parties involved need to consent before one of them can record the conversation.
There are some exceptions to the two-party consent rules.

I think there is a difference.
The other participants on the call were witnesses and can be called to testify.
I think it is legal and can be used as evidence. I have never agreed with this law, but I am glad for it today!
I wonder what the chances are that Trump also recorded the call?
Isn’t that automatic?
I can’t answer to that. Needs to be researched.
From what a lawyer told me, it does hold up in court. Thank goodness, I didn’t end up needing it, but was happy to be able to get evidence.
Thanks for doing the research.
