Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre testified before the Mississippi House Accountability Committee on Wednesday regarding the use of welfare funds for a volleyball project in the state. Favre, who is under investigation for his role in the misspending of over $5 million in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds, admitted to receiving $1.1 million for speaking engagements and coaching fees from the Mississippi Department of Human Services (MDHS) between 2016 and 2019. The hearing focused on accountability and transparency within the MDHS.
