Favre made the announcement as part of his congressional testimony about a welfare misspending scandal in Mississippi.
Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre arrives to appear before the House Committee on Ways and Means on Capitol Hill, Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2024, in Washington.
Favre made the disclosure as part of his testimony about a welfare misspending scandal in Mississippi. Favre, who does not face criminal charges, has repaid just over $1 million in speaking fees funded by a welfare program in the state and was also an investor in a biotech company with ties to the case. The biotech firm has said it was developing concussion treatments.
“As I’m sure you’ll understand, while it’s too late for me — I’ve recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s — this is also a cause dear to my heart,” Favre said. Favre appeared at the Republican-led House Ways and Means Committee hearing to advocate reform of the federal welfare system to better prevent fraud.
