Brett Favre filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit brought against him by the state of Mississippi connected with the state’s welfare scandal.
The motion was filed Monday afternoon on Favre’s behalf by attorney Eric Herschmann in the circuit court of Hinds County in Mississippi’s first judicial district.
Brett Favre filed a motion to dismiss Mississippi’s lawsuit against him in the wake of a state welfare scandal.Tens of millions of dollars in federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds were misspent by Mississippi’s welfare department. A substantial portion of the money in question was diverted to the nonprofit Mississippi Community Education Center , whose CEO Nancy New pled guilty to welfare fraud in August.
“Once Favre was informed that he had received TANF money, he voluntarily returned it, completing the repayment more than six months before MDHS filed this lawsuit, and leading State Auditor White to “applaud Mr. Favre for his good faith effort to make this right and make the taxpayers and TANF families whole,” the motion says. “In other words, Favre has already repaid to MDHS the only funds MDHS alleges he received.
