Pulitzer-Winning Journalist Faces Jail Over Source Disclosure in Mississippi Welfare Case Involving Phil Bryant and Brett Favre
Jul 5, 2024, 02:43 PM
Anna Wolfe, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist from Mississippi Today, is facing potential jail time for refusing to disclose her sources in a lawsuit filed by former Governor Phil Bryant. Wolfe won the Pulitzer for her investigative reporting on the Mississippi welfare fraud case, which implicated several individuals, including NFL star Brett Favre, though Favre has not been charged with any crime. The case has drawn significant attention due to the misuse of federal welfare funds in the state, the poorest in the country. A judge has compelled Wolfe to reveal her sources, raising concerns about press freedom and the protection of journalistic sources. NBC News reported that Wolfe and her editor might be the only ones facing prison time in connection to the welfare scheme.
