FireAid has hired a law firm to conduct a comprehensive review of the celebrity fundraising event after officials and the public questioned how the organization is spending $100 million in donations for Los Angeles-area fire victims.

Attorneys from the Latham and Watkins law firm in Los Angeles notified Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-Calif.) of their plans to “conduct a comprehensive review of FireAid’s governance and grantmaking processes,” according to a July 28 letter.
