NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre has denied knowing that funds paid to him and for a volleyball facility at the University of Southern Mississippi came from welfare funds.
: It has been months since the public has heard from Hall of Fame NFL quarterback Brett Favre regarding his alleged involvement in the Mississippi welfare fraud case that state auditors say funneled money to a new volleyball wellness center at the University of Southern Mississippi .
Former NFL player Brett Favre walks off the 10th tee box during the Celebrity Foursome at the second round of the American Family Insurance Championship at University Ridge Golf Club on June 11, 2022 in Madison, Wisconsin. State auditor Shad White, the auditor who first discovered the misspending and fraud, told Fox News that the grant was approved by an attorney for the AG's office, but that the"analysis was incorrect" for a few reasons.
"Based on the documents that have come out publicly, mainly through filings in the civil case, we can see text messages that show that Mr. Favre knew that the money that was being paid out was coming from John Davis, who is the head of the Mississippi Department of Human Services and also coming from the non-profit that was receiving money from DHS," White told Fox News Digital.
"After I found out the money I was paid for fundraising radio spots came from federal welfare funds, I returned all of it," Favre’s statement to Fox News Digital continued. However, Favre's attorney – Eric Herschmann – told Fox News Digital that Favre was never asked to appear for speaking events. According to Herschmann, Favre recorded commercials for the radio and never"no showed" a speaking event. "Brett got paid for doing every radio spot that was requested," Herschmann told Fox News."He never got paid for a 'no show' appearance. Anyone who has claimed otherwise, does not know the true facts.
"If you were to pay me is there anyway for the media can find out where it came from and how much?" Favre asked New in an October 2017 text message. "No, we never had that information publicized," New responded."I understand you being uneasy about that though. Let’s see what happens on Monday with the conversation with some of the folks at Southern. Maybe it will click with them. Hopefully.
