Boeing seeks to renegotiate its guilty plea over 737 MAX crashes, aiming for lighter penalties.

Boeing aims to withdraw its guilty plea agreement with the US Department of Justice over the 737 MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019 that killed 346 people. The company is seeking more lenient treatment from the Trump administration, following a federal judge's rejection of the initial deal in December 2024. The DOJ is considering modifications to the agreement. Boeing and the DOJ will meet to discuss further steps by April 11.
