SUMMARY: Retired NFL quarterback Brett Favre is set to testify before a Republican-led congressional committee investigating welfare mismanagement in Mississippi. Favre has repaid over $1 million in speaking fees obtained from a welfare program. While facing no criminal charges, he is part of a civil lawsuit regarding the misappropriation of welfare funds, which officials considered the state‘s largest public corruption case. A 2023 gag order complicates the extent of his testimony. The investigation stems from welfare funds being misused for a volleyball arena at the University of Southern Mississippi, where Favre’s daughter plays. The hearing is scheduled for Tuesday.
