The U.S. Justice Department plans to propose that Boeing plead guilty to fraud in connection with two deadly plane crashes involving its 737 Max jetliners. That's according to two people who heard prosecutors detail the offer on Sunday. They say Boeing will have until the end of the coming week to accept or reject the offer, which includes the giant aerospace company agreeing to an independent monitor. A lawyer representing relatives of some of the 346 people who died in the 2018 and 2019 crashes says prosecutors outlined the plea offer during a video meeting. Boeing declined to comment. During the meeting, family members expressed anger that prosecutors did not plan to pursue additional charges and a trial.
