A private law firm hired by FireAid to investigate whether the charity that collected money for victims of January’s Palisades and Eaton fires in Los Angeles has reported finding no evidence of wrongdoing in its distribution of $100 million in donated funding.

FireAid’s partner, the Annenberg Foundation, hired Los Angeles-based law firm Latham & Watkins to perform an internal review after media reports and public inquiries raised concerns about where the money was spent.
