Newly revealed text messages show how deeply a Mississippi governor was involved in the state paying more than $1 million in welfare money to Brett Favre to help pay for one of the retired NFL quarterback’s pet projects.
Later that day, New texted Favre to let him know she was meeting with the governor.
Favre played football at the university, located in Hattiesburg, before going to the NFL in 1991. His daughter began playing on the school's volleyball team in 2017. On Dec. 27, 2017, Favre texted New: “Nancy Santa came today and dropped some money off thank you my goodness thank you.”Attorneys for Favre did not immediately respond to a phone message Wednesday from The Associated Press. NBC News was first tothat the FBI has questioned Favre in the matter, but there is no indication Favre is a target of the FBI’s criminal investigation.
Billy Quinn, an attorney representing Bryant, told the AP on Wednesday that Bryant did not direct New to make the $1.1 million payment to Favre. Quinn said a careful examination of court records will show “there's no proof that occurred. And that's because it didn't.” About 1,800 Mississippi households received payments from the program in 2021, according to the Department of Human Services. A family of three must have a monthly income below $680 to qualify, and the current monthly benefit for that family is $260. Payments are allowed for up to five years.
