The Trump administration is releasing billions of dollars in grants to schools for adult literacy, English language instruction and other programs. Over $6 billion in funding had been withheld starting July 1 as part of a review to ensure spending aligned with the White House's priorities. There are reports that some of the money raised by the concert meant to benefit people impacted by the California wildfires is not getting to the victims.

Fire Aid's website says the concert raised 100 million for direct relief. Yet I told Fox, La Fiery does not have the capability to make direct payments to individuals.

So who's responsible? Well, that's not clear. The Annenberg foundation helped organize the concert but claims only an advisory role and how the money was distributed. That's up to a fire rate advisory committee and board who we are told, want to remain anonymous.
