SCOOP: A top White House lawyer to President Trump will represent NFL legend Brett Favre, who is embroiled in a welfare-funds scandal in Mississippi.
Herschmann confirmed his new role after it was disclosed to Axios by a source close to the case.
Herschmann has talked with Favre multiple times, and spent several weeks reviewing years of text messages, emails and contracts, the source said.Favre shouldn’t be indicted, and has convincing defenses if he were. Then he agreed to represent him. "I only agreed to represent Brett Favre after I did my independent due diligence and was convinced that he did nothing wrong," Herschmann said. "Brett enthusiastically tried to help his alma mater, a public university, that needed and wanted his help."
"To be clear, Brett had no idea that welfare funds were being used or that others were involved in illegal conduct," Herschmann added.Mississippi, one of the nation's poorest states, spent millions in anti-poverty money on a volleyball arena at the University of Southern Mississippi, where Favre graduated and his daughter played volleyball.
