Federal judge rejects Boeing's plea deal over 737 Max, citing issues with diversity clause.

A federal judge in Texas has rejected a plea deal that would have allowed Boeing to plead guilty to misleading regulators about the 737 Max jetliner before two fatal crashes killed 346 people. The judge objected to the deal's diversity clause in selecting an independent monitor. This decision creates uncertainty over Boeing's criminal prosecution, and the company and the Justice Department have 30 days to respond.
