JACKSON, Miss. – Today State Auditor Shad White’s office counter-sued Brett Favre for hundreds of thousands of welfare dollars. Last February, Favre sued White for defamation for truthful statements Auditor White made describing Mississippi’s large welfare fraud scandal. Auditor White’s attorneys filed a counter-claim today in the same defamation suit, demanding Favre pay back Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds with interest.
