Flash flooding hits another state. The election interference case against a pro-Trump meme maker is tossed out,

It's Wednesday, July 9th, and this is Evening Wire. Catastrophic flooding has hit

ones as search efforts continue.

27 campers and counselors died in the Guadalupe River surge.

According to state records obtained by the AP, the camp had complied with various regulations

regarding procedures to be implemented in case of disaster, including evacuation plans.

President Donald Trump will visit Texas on Friday to meet with victims, joined by

First Lady Melania Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Christy Knoem.
