Former Employees of Donald Trump Say They Saw Him Tape Conversations

Three former employees say they saw Mr. Trump tape phone calls in Trump Tower before he was president

 Mr. Trump had one or more recording devices that he used to tape phone calls from his office, the three people said. All are former high-level employees who worked for Mr. Trump over a span of three decades. They said they saw devices in use recording phone calls.
.. A fourth person said he knew that Mr. Trump had recorded a phone conversation with him because it was later entered into evidence in a lawsuit.
.. Taping conversations isn’t illegal in New York, nor in Washington, D.C., as long as one party in the conversation, such as Mr. Trump, is aware that it is being recorded.
.. Florida, where Mr. Trump also has frequently traveled since taking office, generally requires all parties to consent to taping, although there is an exception for taping in public places where the parties wouldn’t have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the conversation… “He recorded virtually everything in the office,” one former high-level Trump Organization employee said.
.. Mr. Trump didn’t generally tell the other party that he or she was being recorded, the former employees said.
