The meeting at Brett Favre's Mississippi home was not his first interaction with state officials about the company, Prevacus.
NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre hosted Mississippi officials at his home in January 2019, where an executive for a pharmaceutical company Favre invested in solicited nearly $2 million in state welfare funds, according to pitch materials obtained by CBS News.
Former federal prosecutor Brad Pigott, who investigated the transactions for the state, told CBS News the agreement between the state and Prevacus was"an egregious betrayal, both of the poor and of the law." Eric Herschmann, an attorney for Favre, said in an interview with CBS News that state officials, including Bryant, never told Favre that the money Bryant would provide would be derived from welfare funds. Herschmann pointed out that Bryant had previously served as Mississippi state auditor, leading the department that oversees public funds.
Months later, VanLandhingman asked a state welfare official for the money in a text message exchange, a screenshot of which was obtained by CBS News."Jake, you cannot even imagine the word stress for us right now! At any rate, we can send 400k today. I will need to let Brett know that we will need to pull this from what we were hoping to help him with on other activities. 😩," the employee replied, before also asking for"status reports."Pigott is a former U.S.
And Pigott said the grant has so far failed to live up to its promise."They did not, as we understand it" run clinical trials of Prevacus in Mississippi, Pigott said. The attorney, George Schmidt II, said VanLandingham is currently identifying potential sites for the next clinical trial,"which includes sites in Mississippi per the contract."
