Favre tries to expand his defamation lawsuit against Mississippi auditor over welfare spending
SUMMARY: Retired NFL quarterback Brett Favre is attempting to expand his defamation lawsuit against Mississippi Auditor Shad White to include White’s recent book, “Mississippi Swindle: Brett Favre and the Welfare Scandal that Shocked America,” which criticizes Favre’s involvement in a welfare funds misuse case. Favre’s attorneys claim the book falsely alleges he misappropriated funds and committed money laundering. White, who is covering his own legal fees, asserts he will not retract his statements. While Favre has repaid $1.1 million in welfare funds, he still owes approximately $730,000 due to accrued interest.
