Justice Dept defends Boeing plea deal in 737 Max crashes, says lacks evidence for more serious charges. Boeing agrees to plead guilty to a single felony charge of conspiracy to commit fraud, pay a fine of at least $243.6m, invest $455m in safety and compliance programs, and be on probation for three years.
