Phil Bryant and Brett Favre implicated in Mississippi TANF scandal.
Former Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant has released hundreds of text messages and other documents related to the Mississippi welfare scandal, including text messages with retired NFL star Brett Favre, indicted nonprofit operator Nancy New and others. He made the text messages available shortly before 5 p.m. on the website bryanttexts.com. Bryant initially resisted turning over all his texts after several defendants in a civil case subpoenaed them last year.
