July 27, 2018: Hour 1

President Trump is denying he knew about that Trump Tower meeting in June 2016 with a group of Russians offering dirt on Hillary Clinton. Here & Now's Jeremy Hobson and Peter O'Dowd discuss the latest and round up the week in politics with Bloomberg News White House reporter Toluse Olorunnipa and ABC News political director Rick Klein. Also, we check in on how the fast-moving Carr Fire is impacting those in Redding, California, with Connor Sutton and Joseph VanDyke, who live in the city. And Republicans in Congress want to overhaul the Endangered Species Act, saying it places an undue burden on private landowners. Supporters of the act say it's saved hundreds, if not thousands, of species from extinction. That and more, in hour one of Here & Now's July 27, 2018 full broadcast.
