- Auditor says NFL hall of famer still owes $228,000 in interest
- Favre says he did not know money was from welfare funds
Hall of fame quarterback Brett Favre has repaid $600,000 in state welfare money he accepted for speeches where he didn’t appear, but the state attorney general could sue Favre if he doesn’t pay interest owed on the amount, the Mississippi auditor said on Wednesday.
Auditor Shad White said Favre paid the $600,000 this week. White sent the former Green Bay Packers quarterback a letter on 12 October demanding $828,000, which was the $600,000 plus $228,000 in interest.
