Has American inventor Julian Brown who purportedly turns plastic into gasoline gone missing?
The 21-year-old from Atlanta with 1.7 million followers on Instagram has not been seen since July 9 after posting cryptic videos saying he was "under attack."
"Something is happening, keep me in your prayers please. SCREEN RECORD THIS. I don't know," Brown indicated.
"I can't go into too much detail, but there is some very, very odd stuff going on. I'm certainly under attack right now in many different ways. And I just want everybody to know to just kind of have your eyes open."
"Be on the lookout because I'm under attack."
On July 3, he posted: "A SECRET Helicopter found circled me in the middle of NOWHERE … and it gets even scarier – Pray for me please."
But according to his mother Nia Brown, Julian is not missing.
"I can confirm Julian is safe but in the best interest of his security I'm not able to provide any more information," she told the Daily Mail.
His disappearance sparked concern among his followers about his safety because of his "Plastoline" invention, a product he claims recycles plastic by converting it into gasoline.
Forbes magazine featured Brown as the founder of Naturejab, a firm making natural products, and as "an innovator in the use of microwave pyrolysis of plastic waste."
Asked about his inspiration for creating the energy technology, Brown said: "What motivated me was seeing the large plastic issue at hand throughout the world and not seeing any obvious solutions that were effective enough to make a difference."
"It made me so upset that even though we are told that we are recycling, plastic is clearly ending up in the oceans and landfills where it is affecting so many lives, including our own."
He told Forbes he learned his craft through a high-school welding class and his welding job.
Brown actually received $100,000 from Reddit co-creator Alexis Ohanian, who is married to Serena Williams.
He created a GoFundMe page to finance his effort, initially asking for $16,000.
But in the wake of his alleged vanishing, GoFundMe's donation rocketed to more than $30,000.
"I have been self taught in turning plastic into fuel for 5 years, and now I will need YOUR help to raise money for the most important upgrade yet. This will be my first official invention," Brown wrote on the GoFundMe page.

A lawmaker is proposing to cut back on her nation's exploding death toll from assisted suicide by introducing new limits on the circumstances in which doctors legally can terminate their patients.
The plan, according to a report at the Federalist, comes from Member of Parliament Tamera Jansen, in her "Right to Recover Act," in Canada, which was joined by MP Andrew Lawton, whose own personal story serves as an example of what is at stake.
It was CBN that reported only months ago that through the end of 2023, assisted suicides were responsible for 5% of the deaths all across the nation, with 15,434 people dead of that cause. That was a surge of nearly 16% from just the year before.
More than 60,000 human lives have been ended in Canada since it became legal in 2016, CBN reported, with "Health Canada" claiming the "Medical Assistance in Dying" scheme is a "service" that lets "someone who is found to be eligible to receive assistance from a medical practitioner to end their life."
Now it's offered not only to those who are considered terminal from a diagnosis but also to these who have disabilities, such as "hearing loss," and it is scheduled to expand in in 2027 to those with all sorts of "mental" conditions.
Under the program, doctors simply administer lethal poison to their patients.
In one case, for example, a woman who sought mental health help because she was suffering from frequent suicidal thoughts in fact was pointed to the MAID program because there were "no beds" available for her.
Now in a report by Andrew Koonan, of UnveilTV which produced the docuseries "MAID in Canada," ehe xplained there are those who want to apply the brakes.
"Both Canada and California have approximately the same population, but 15 times more Canadians die by MAID than Californians. That's because in California, a doctor gives the lethal drug to the patient, and the patient must administer the drug, taking his own life," he explained. "In Canada, the patient can have the doctor inject the life-ending cocktail of drugs. Canadians pick their doctor almost every time, ostensibly freeing themselves of the stigma of suicide but with the same, unalterable result."
In 2023, the report noted, 622 patients were killed even through their deaths "were not imminent."
The main reason? "They cited loneliness or that they felt like a burden…"
"The Liberal government plans to expand MAID for people who request it for the sole condition of mental health in 2027. They're rolling out this cost-saving, life-ending measure despite warnings by a group of Canadian psychiatrists that doctors who green-light MAID for mental health patients 'will be wrong over half the time … provid[ing] death to marginalized suicidal individuals who could have improved.' In their moment of greatest need and at their most vulnerable, people with mental health conditions will be offered the morgue by the medical bureaucracy, not medicine," he explained.
Jansen's plan would "permanently stop the expansion of MAID solely for mental illness," the report noted. It pointed out that Lawton experienced a mental health crisis a decade ago and now is an elected member of Parliament.
"He is effectively using his position and his voice on important issues like MAID expansion. Lawton's story highlights that people with mental health issues heal and move beyond crisis to make a real positive effect in their communities. On the current path of MAID expansion, thousands of Canadians will lose their lives unnecessarily if the Right To Recover Act doesn't succeed."

Vice President JD Vance went "scorched earth" on the legacy news media Monday for refusing to pursue the Jeffrey Epstein story during years while George W. Bush and Barack Obama were presidents.
Now, he explained, since President Donald Trump has ordered the Department of Justice to go "full transparency," "that's a criticism" of Trump.
Trump has ordered the DOJ to release all "credible" information about the sex offender who was convicted but given a light sentence, then died when he was jailed awaiting further charges.
With his remote, private island and his "Lolita Express" airplane there long have been suspicions he actively provided underage girls to a long list of clients, including politicians and celebrities.
Prince Andrew, for example, was caught up in the scandal and ultimately reached a settlement with a woman who accused him of assaulting her when she was underage.
Vance has asked whether the Trump administration was shielding anyone in the investigation, and erupted.
"We're not shielding anything. The president has directed the attorney general to release all credible information and frankly to go and find additional credible information related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. For four years, under Joe Biden's Department of Justice, the media didn't give a damn about the Epstein files or about the Epstein case for literally 20 years. … 20 years, you had Obama and George W. Bush's Department of Justice go easy on this guy. They didn't fully investigate the case. … They didn't show any curiosity about the case. And now Donald J. Trump is asking his Department of Justice to show full transparency. And somehow that's a criticism of Donald J. Trump and not Barack Obama and George W. Bush."
The Daily Caller News Foundation said Vance, speaking in Canton, Ohio, noted the absence of any reporter interest in the case for years.
"If you want to criticize the people who aren't showing full transparency, you ought to go after the administrations that went easy on Jeffrey Epstein, the administrations that concealed this case for 20 years and the administrations that failed to show full transparency," the vice president said.
Trump has pointed out that if there was any information that would damage him, the administration of Joe Biden would have used it already. "Those files were run by these people, they were run by my enemy. If there was anything in there, they would've used them for the election."

Video posted on social media Sunday documented Muslims in large numbers stopping their luxury cars on a busy New York City highway, and getting out of their vehicles to chant, "Globalize the intifada!"
"Intifada" is a term meaning an uprising against an oppressor, and is thought by many to be "an open call for violence against Jews – recently in Congress, Rep. Elise Stefanik framed it as a call for Jewish genocide."
The roadway shutdown took place on the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn, a borough of the Big Apple some call the most Jewish spot on Earth, as it's home to some 462,000 Jews in 195,000 households, according to the UJA Federation of New York.
"Not Somalia. Not Iran," noted Eric Daugherty of Florida's Voice. "Brooklyn, New York. Muslims jump out of their cars and block the road, saying: 'Globalize the intifada.' We were invaded. They want to conquer."
Liberacrat opined: "This is who the left supports and let into the country for 4 years under Joe Biden, people who hate us."
Another commenter stated: "There are thousands of Jews living in Brooklyn. And remember, Zohran Mamdani sees nothing wrong with that chant. Good luck New York City."
Paul A. Syzpula indicated: "This is what Democrats have brought to the US, sadly. NYC needs mass deportations immediately."
There have also been reports in the past year of possible Sharia law in New York, with Muslims purportedly masquerading as New York City police officers throughout Brooklyn.
Last month, Culture War Report on X stated: "New York is at a crossroads… Is it the end of the Big Apple as we know it… will it turn into London and Paris… two unrecognizable cities?
"The city now has around 275-300 mosques, mostly in Brooklyn and Queens.
'[A] 2018 study estimated over 750,000 Muslims live in the city, making up about 9% of its population and roughly 22% of all Muslims in the United States. The greater New York metropolitan area has around 1.5 million Muslims, the largest such population in the Americas. The rise of Islam is reshaping NYC's cultural landscape in ways that are both subtle and overt."

In what's being called a "disgusting" racial attack, Cincinnati police are investigating a graphic assault by blacks Saturday injuring at least three white people, with the violence documented in a disturbing viral video.
"In the footage, a man, whose identity remains unknown, is repeatedly hit and kicked in the head by multiple people, sending him to the ground. The group of people then continues to assault the man while he lies on the ground," reports WLWT-TV, the local NBC affiliate.
"At one point, the man can be seen attempting to stand up as the barrage of attacks by the crowd temporarily comes to a stop. He immediately falls over in apparent disorientation, as cars honk their horns for the assembled crowd to move out of the road.
"Later on in the video, a woman can be seen sneaking up from behind and grabbing at another woman who was seen checking on the fallen man, while a separate man in the crowd punches her. The punch causes the woman to fall to the ground, with her head slamming down onto the concrete.
"After a moment, it becomes apparent that the woman is unconscious, as blood can be seen streaming from her mouth. The video ends as bystanders attempt to move the woman out of the street.
"It is unclear whether the man and woman who were attacked have any connection to one another."
The beatings occurred as the four-day Cincinnati Music Festival was taking place.
Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge is slamming the perpetrators, indicating: "I am in complete disgust waking up to the viral video many of you have now seen."
"The behavior displayed is nothing short of cruel and absolutely unacceptable. Our investigative team is working diligently to identify every individual involved in causing harm. It's also important to clarify: this was a sudden dispute between individuals following a verbal altercation. It was not connected in any way to the Music Fest. If you have any information related to this incident, please contact Crime Stoppers immediately at 513-352-3042."
Alex Jones of Infowars said of the horror: "The left is promoting racial attacks on white people and then covering up the attacks. I am going to continue to expose this garbage. The crime statistics are clear black on white crime is at least 15 to one. Most Black people are not engaged in this activity, but a tiny minority is and the left is covering it up."
Ken Kober, president of the Cincinnati Fraternal Order of Police, told WLWT, "The violence this video shows downtown is disgusting."
"What's equally disgusting is those who chose to watch and record instead of calling 9-1-1, attempting to defuse the situation or render aid. I have full faith in the Central Business Section Investigators they will make arrests in the near future. It will then be the responsibility of the court system to hold these violent thugs accountable."
Ohio state Rep. Cecil Thomas is urging anyone with information to come forward to the police.
"I've just observed several video clips of an assault that took place last night in our downtown," Thomas told the station. "It turned my stomach and I was angry and totally embarrassed to see such behavior, especially, during the Music Festival weekend that's has been historically free of such horrifying violence, not to mention a Reds home game. There are so many visitors from around the country currently in our city."
"It's this kind of behavior that makes me wish I was still on the force," Thomas added. "It's unacceptable under any standard and those involved should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
"Therefore as your State Representative, I trust that there will be a full and complete investigation of this incident by the Cincinnati Police Department and to bring charges against all involved. There's enough cameras in the area as well as cellphone videos to clearly determine how it started and who all was involved."
The identity and conditions of the victims remain unknown.
While local TV in Cincinnati has reported the violence, national media have been largely silent.
Comments online include:
"This is a hate crime that has attempted murder, written all over it. Why won't the media cover Cincinnati?"
"The race war has already begun. Last night at a music festival, multiple white people were viciously targeted by gangs of blacks in a racially motivated attack. Random black attacks against white people have become a daily occurrence."

In a cryptic X post Saturday, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said he has been "shocked to the core" by what he has learned in ongoing investigations – but he doesn't say what that is.
"We cannot run a Republic like this," Bongino insists. "I'll never be the same after learning what I've learned."
The deputy director, a former Secret Service agent and political commentator, vowed to bring the American people "the truth," saying, "We are going to get the answers WE ALL DESERVE."
Bongino reportedly took issue with Attorney General Pam Bondi's "nothing to see here" memo regarding the Jeffrey Epstein case earlier this month, with rumors he nearly resigned his position over the decision.
Commentator Todd Starnes remarked on X, "Seems to me we need the Attorney General and FBI Director [Kash Patel] need to immediately hold a press conference and explain what the deputy director is talking about."

Democrats this week have gotten stung badly, twice, by social media statements they posted themselves.
One involved their claim that under "Trump's America," American grocery prices reached "records high in 2025."
They tried to erase that quickly from the web, as their own chart confirmed that grocery prices were relatively low and stable under President Trump's first term, but exploded under Joe Biden's term in office.
The second blunder was their complaint about the federal minimum wage, which hasn't gone up from $7.25 for more than 15 years.
They, again, were complaining about President Trump, but social media commenters quickly noted that Democrats were in control of the government for all except a few of those years.
Multiple social media accounts asked the Democrats why they deleted the grocery prices comparison.
A commemtary at Twitchy noted that after the Democrats "REALLY, REALLY, REALLY owned themselves" with the grocery price blunder, they next put up the minimum wage complaint.
"If they had been smart, they would have removed the actual inflation under Biden, who created the astounding, economy-killing prices, but nope…"
Actually, under Biden, inflation exploded to as high as 9%.
"They literally blamed themselves for the high cost of food and tried to delete it …" But then they jumped into the minimum wage mess.
"Guess how many of those years the Democrats were in charge? HA HA HA HA HA HA," wrote Twitchy. "Whoever is doing their social media is really stupid, even for a Democrat."
Fox News cited other comments:
From political commentator Chad Felix Greene, "You're showing us a graph of stable prices suddenly rising the moment you came into power and then steadily rising higher and higher until Trump was reelected."
GOP strategist Greg Price asked, "Who was in charge in 2021[?]"
"Wow 2021-2024 were pretty bad," Wall Street Journal critic Kyle Smith joked.
Author Carol Roth remarked, "This is not the flex they think it is."
And White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson commented, "They can't be this dumb. Are they actually this dumb???"

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services confirms it has launched a "major initiative" to reform America's organ-transplant system after it stunningly revealed that dozens of organ donors may not have been dead when the process to procure their organs was started, and dozens more exhibited "neurological signs incompatible with donation."
"Our findings show that hospitals allowed the organ procurement process to begin when patients showed signs of life, and this is horrifying," explained HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
"The organ procurement organizations that coordinate access to transplants will be held accountable. The entire system must be fixed to ensure that every potential donor's life is treated with the sanctity it deserves," he said.
A commentary posted at the Washington Stand on the situation highlighted one case:
"According to a partially redacted, eight-page report dated May 28, 2025, HHS received 'an allegation of potentially preventable harm to a neurologically injured patient.' This prompted the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the subdepartment of HHS that oversees the organ donation system, to launch an investigation after HRSA Administrator Thomas Engels assumed his post in February. The New York Times identified that victim as Anthony Thomas Hoover II, then 33 years old, who was hospitalized with a drug overdose in 2021. Hours after a doctor had declared him brain-dead, Hoover awakened to find medical staff preparing to remove his organs. 'Even though the man cried, pulled his legs to his chest and shook his head, officials still tried to move forward.' Hospital staff ultimately became 'uncomfortable with the amount of reflexes' Hoover showed, and a doctor ultimately refused to remove him from life-support. The man ultimately survived."
HRSA reported that it reviewed 351 cases where organ donation was authorized but ultimately not completed. It found 103 cases "showed concerning features, including 73 patients with neurological signs incompatible with organ donation," "at least 28 patients may not have been deceased at the time organ procurement was initiated – raising serious ethical and legal questions," and "evidence pointed to poor neurologic assessments, lack of coordination with medical teams, questionable consent practices, and misclassification of causes of death, particularly in overdose cases."
Under the plan the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network has been told to reopen an investigation into one unidentified case, which had been closed under the Joe Biden administration.
The newest review suggested "clear negligence."
Now being imposed are new corrective actions and system-level changes that are intended to safeguard potential donors.
The Organ Procurement Organization must "conduct a full root cause analysis of its failure to follow internal protocols—including noncompliance with the five-minute observation rule after the patient's death—and develop clear, enforceable policies to define donor eligibility criteria. Additionally, it must adopt a formal procedure allowing any staff member to halt a donation process if patient safety concerns arise," the government said.
Safeguards and monitoring also are being ratcheted up.
"These findings from HHS confirm what the Trump administration has long warned: entrenched bureaucracies, outdated systems, and reckless disregard for human life have failed to protect our most vulnerable citizens. Under Secretary Kennedy's leadership, HHS is restoring integrity and transparency to organ procurement and transplant policy by putting patients' lives first," the report said.
The commentary from the Stand, by Joshua Arnold, noted Rep. Neal Dunn, R-Fla., worried that the story about the attempt to remove Hoover's organs, "seems to be a story more fitting for a horror movie than a congressional hearing."
Barry Mass, chief of Network for Hope, a federally funded OPO which works in Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia, appeared during a hearing before the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Oversight & Investigations Subcommittee recently.
He "could only respond with assent" to Dunn's comments.
The commentary noted, "Such improvement in America's organ transplant system was not forthcoming before the Trump administration exerted serious pressure. Despite the shocking details of Hoover's case, the Membership and Professional Standards Committee (MPSC) of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) 'closed the case without further action,' even after Network for Hope's reply 'did not include the patient-level materials or administrative documents requested by the MPSC,' according to the HRSA report."
The federal study found many organ "donors" "had no cardiac time of death noted."
"Such was the case with Hoover, who left the hospital four years ago and is still alive," the commentary said.
The horror story details just continued, the commentary said, pointing out "multiple patients" were found to be evincing pain or discomfort while the staff was preparing to take their organs.
It explained, "In other words, like Hoover, overdose patients might seem dead because of the lingering effects of drugs, then gradually recover. If organ harvesters fail to recognize or record the effect of drugs on the patient, they may prematurely harvest organs from a patient set to fully recover."
The commentary noted, "According to The New York Times, two former employees of Network of Hope said 'higher-ups' tried to pressure hospital staff to proceed with harvesting Hoover's organs. 'If it had not been for that physician [who refused to end life support], we absolutely, 1,000% would have moved forward,' said Natasha Miller, an employee in the room. Three more former employees confirmed seeing similar cases."
Stunningly, when eight members of the OPTN board resigned their positions, complaining about the Trump administration's oversight plans, several industry groups, like the American Society of Transplant Surgeons, protested.
"These responses constitute angry warnings that the Trump administration will likely encounter serious opposition from the organ procurement and transplant industry. But the Trump administration is right to press such reform through, over the objections of industry participants, who as likely as not are part of the problem. As the HHS noted, an industry that shows 'systemic disregard for sanctity of life" needs urgent reform," the commentary said.

The professional who just got laid off never expected this. They worked hard their whole life. Always had a plan B, C and D. Never without a job. Never needed a handout. Now, for the first time, they're facing the unknown, the unemployment line.
The recent college graduate, diploma in hand, who spent four years living on Top Ramen, buried in textbooks and study groups, was told the degree was the ticket to success. Stay in school, study hard, and there will be a future waiting for you.
The stay-at-home mom who's always believed in raising her children full-time would prefer to keep doing just that, nurturing her family, providing the care only a mother can give. But with food prices rising and their household on the edge, she's forced to return to work for the first time in years. Not because she wants to, but because she must.
These Americans all know the challenge ahead. They know they'll need to fight for the job that helps them keep their home, pay their bills, feed their families and contribute to their communities.
What they don't know is this: There aren't enough jobs for Americans anymore.
And worse, they're not just competing with each other. They're competing with millions of work-authorized foreign nationals who are now legally walking into the same job market.
In 2024, while the U.S. economy only created 2.2 million new jobs, the federal government approved over 5.56 million employment authorizations for foreign nationals. That's more than twice as many workers added to the job pool than jobs created.
And it wasn't an isolated year. From 2022 to 2024 America issued over 18 million work permits through a patchwork of visa programs, asylum cases, student extensions and executive actions. During that same three-year period, only 9.7 million jobs were created.
Millions of hardworking Americans, just like the laid-off parent, the young graduate and the mother returning to work, are entering a job market that's already saturated. Not because of natural supply and demand, but because the government is flooding the system with foreign competition.
The government's role
Many Americans assume that employment-based immigration is tightly controlled, limited in number and directly tied to job availability. In reality, that is not how the system works.
Each year, the U.S. government issues millions of work authorizations to foreign nationals through a variety of immigration categories. These include asylum applicants, individuals with Temporary Protected Status (TPS), recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), H-1B temporary skilled workers, international students participating in post-graduation work programs such as Optional Practical Training (OPT) and STEM OPT and other similar work visa programs.
Most of these programs do not require a specific job offer to exist at the time of approval. In many cases, there is no legal obligation for employers to demonstrate that they attempted to hire a U.S. worker first. Additionally, several of these programs have no annual cap, meaning there is no fixed limit on how many individuals can receive work authorization each year.
As a result, foreign nationals may be granted the legal right to work in the U.S., sometimes for multiple years, without any link to actual job openings or confirmation that the U.S. labor market has unmet demand. There is no built-in labor market test, no requirement to prioritize American workers and no formal mechanism to align these approvals with the number of available jobs. In practice, this means that millions of work-authorized foreign nationals can enter the job market each year, even during periods of high unemployment or limited job growth for U.S. citizens.
American workers left behind
For American workers, whether they're behind the wheel of a truck, fixing engines, building homes, caring for patients, writing code, or stepping out of college with a degree, the impact is personal and immediate. When the federal government authorizes millions of foreign nationals to enter the workforce each year, it floods the job market and stacks the deck against American citizens.
This is no longer limited to so-called "low-skilled" jobs. The displacement is happening across the board, in white-collar careers, government contracts, hospitals, classrooms and tech companies. And because there's no hard limit on how many employment authorizations can be issued, the floodgates stay wide open.
Employers, enticed by lower costs and fewer obligations, are increasingly turning to foreign workers with temporary status. Americans aren't being passed over because they lack skills, but because the system itself has been rewired to favor foreign labor over American talent.
The result is a quiet restructuring of the U.S. labor market, one where citizenship, hard work and sacrifice no longer guarantee opportunity. The data makes this shift hard to ignore. According to the Federal Reserve's FRED database, foreign-born men have consistently been employed at higher rates than American-born men, a trend that persisted through 2024. In recent years, that employment gap has remained steady, averaging 15% to 17%. This pattern points to a deeper structural preference where foreign workers are being favored, while American workers are being pushed aside.
A betrayal hidden in plain sight
The numbers speak for themselves, American workers are now competing in a labor market reshaped by federal immigration policy, one that adds millions of foreign workers each year without regard to job availability.
Across the country, parents, recent graduates, veterans and working families are doing everything they were told would lead to success, earning degrees, gaining experience, showing up day after day, only to find fewer opportunities waiting for them.
Not because they lacked the skills or experience, but because millions of foreign nationals were approved to enter the workforce ahead of them, many of whom will work for lower wages, tolerate unsafe conditions, skip benefits and stay silent rather than risk losing their place. Not because they choose to, but because it's the only way to be more appealing than an American who can do the same job.

After Californians experienced one of the worst fire disasters ever, the Pacific Palisades fire in Los Angeles, hundreds of homes were gone and people were left unable sometimes to even recognize their own streets.
The huge human need for help was evident.
So a benefit called FireAid was scheduled and held. Entertainers include Lady Gaga, Jelly Roll, Katy Perry and Olivia Rodrigo appeared and the five-hour event reportedly raised $100 million.
But multiple victims say they have yet to see any help, and one member of Congress is calling on Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate.
A report at Fox News said the money, even though it was promised to the victims, went instead to various nonprofit organizations.
That would amount to about $75 million; the other $25 million still is held by FireAid, the report charged.
"I have not seen any benefit from the FireAid money, and I am very involved here and neither have my neighbors," said David Howard, who lost two homes in Pacific Palisades.
The fundraiser had been billed as a benefit for "wildfire victims."
Fire victim Mark Jones of Altadena said his house was destroyed and six months later, he's heard nothing from anyone, after expecting some help.
"The fire aid was for us. So, we figured where is the money?"
Fox News asked, of FireAid and the Annenberg Foundation, which helped coordinate the event, where the money went, how much did non-profits get, how many fire victims were given aid and more.
"We have yet to receive a response, but officials acknowledged receiving our inquiry," the news agency said.
A promotional website for the fundraiser said it was for "direct relief," and actor Miles Teller, during the show, said "all the money raised will go directly to people who need it now and long-term efforts to build it back."
Then FireAid said in a statement it could not deliver help directly to individuals and never planned to do that, instead partnering with "local nonprofits."
"Fox News contacted more than 70 of those non-profits. Some replied. Others declined. Some are well known like the Boys and Girls Club, YWCA and Meals on Wheels," the report said.
One promised to use the cash to respond "to the needs and problems of disenfranchised people."
The report said at least $6.5 million went to Los Angeles County, and so far, 188 nonprofits have been given $75 million, with the last $25 million to "go out in August," the report said.
The cash is being used for "long-term wildfire mitigation, environmental resilience, and sustainable rebuilding," the report said.
The request for an investigation is from Rep. Kevin Kiley, R-Calif.
The expenditures are being made by a FireAid board including business executives and philanthropists.
President Trump posted about the FireAid scandal Friday night.
