No it’s not.

Some states (a minority) have all party consent laws. Maryland is one of them. DC and Virginia aren’t for example. In Virginia I can record anyone I want as long as I’m 1 party in the conversation.

What is illegal nearly everywhere is recording someone else’s private conversation. But even then there are some ways around that. Like was it a public space or were signs posted saying you can be recorded.

I would assume that consent was given, since Megyn Kelly was there to record an interview between the two of them.

The question is whether the consent is global. In other words, if both parties know that their conversation is being recorded due to it being an interview being recorded by one of the parties, does that consent apply to the other party secretly recording the interview, too? After all, it is known that the conversation is being recorded, so it's only fair that both parties make a record of it.

I would think this extends to police bodycams, too. If the police officer knows the encounter is being recorded because he's wearing a bodycam, then is it legal for you to record the encounter, too, in case the police tamper with the bodycam recording later? After all, both parties already know the encounter is being recorded by one of them, so it should be legal for all of them to record the encounter, right?
