U.S. prosecutors are meeting with Boeing and the relatives of fatal-crash victims as a July 7 deadline approaches for the Justice Department to decide on potential criminal charges against the planemaker. Officials are discussing Boeing's violation of a 2021 deferred prosecution agreement over the 737 MAX crashes that killed 346 people in 2018 and 2019. Boeing argues against a prosecution, while prosecutors seek feedback from victims' families during the investigation process. The decision on potential charges follows a mid-flight incident involving a Boeing plane and ongoing safety concerns within the company.
