'Just left Brett Favre. Can we help him with his project.'
The Mississippi welfare fraud case, in which Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre is allegedly involved in, has taken another turn.
According to a report by Mississippi Today, text messages entered into the state’s ongoing civil lawsuit over the welfare scandal reveal that former Gov. Phil Bryant pushed to make Favre’s new volleyball stadium idea a reality. “Just left Brett Favre,” Bryant texted nonprofit founder Nancy New in July 2019, within weeks of Davis’ firing. “Can we help him with his project. We should meet soon to see how I can make sure we keep your projects on course.”
The newly released texts also show that Bryant, Favre, New, Davis and others worked together to channel at least $5 million of the state’s welfare funds to build the new stadium. New pleaded guilty to 13 felony counts related to the scheme. Davis awaits trial and also is now aiding prosecutors as part of her plea deal, according to the report. Neither Bryant nor Favre has been charged with any crime.
