An attorney for Favre says the Mississippi Department of Human Services 'groundlessly and irresponsibly seeks to blame Favre for its own grossly improper and unlawful handling of welfare funds.'
JACKSON, Miss. — Retired NFL quarterback Brett Favre is asking to be removed from a lawsuit by the state of Mississippi that seeks to recover millions of dollars in misspent welfare money that was intended to help some of the poorest people in the U.S.
Herschmann wrote that the lawsuit focuses on the welfare agency's"false insinuations concerning Favre's supposed involvement" rather than on the agency,"which in fact is responsible for allowing this scandal to occur." Favre grew up in Mississippi and played football at the University of Southern Mississippi before a long career with the Green Bay Packers that included a win in Super Bowl XXXI. He was traded to the New York Jets in 2008 and played there one year before playing his final two seasons for the Minnesota Vikings.
A former Department of Human Services director, John Davis, pleaded guilty in September to federal and state charges tied to the welfare misspending.
