Tennessee's Political Turmoil: Audio Recordings, Expulsions, and Gun Laws

Audio recording of a meeting of House Republicans in Tennessee discussing the expulsion of two Democrats has been leaked and circulated on social media. While Tennessee is a one-party consent state, meaning that only one person needs to know about the recording, it is unclear who recorded and leaked the audio. Legal experts have said that if a staffer began the recording and was asked to leave or left on their own, and no one else knew the recording was occurring, it would be subject to unlawful wiretapping charges. The audio has generated controversy and raised questions about the unity of the GOP in Tennessee.
