Former Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant has again been subpoenaed amid an ongoing civil suit in a multimillion-dollar welfare fraud scandal

Attorneys for one of the defendants in the state of Mississippi’s suit issued the subpoena Friday, asking for several years’ worth of additional documents and communications between Bryant and Favre, as well as others connected to the case that auditors say resulted in at least $77 million in federal welfare dollars being misspent.

Over the next year, more than $2 million in welfare funds was diverted to the company “for the purpose of securing ‘clinical trial sites’ to be located within Mississippi in order to promote an experimental anti-concussion drug” but, according to the state’s lawsuit, was instead used to buy stock in Prevacus for the people involved in the scheme. Favre’s spokesperson on Sunday night declined to comment on the latest filing. An attorney for Bryant did not return CNN’s request for comment Sunday.
