A federal judge in Texas ordered a hearing in October for the US Department of Justice to defend its criminal plea agreement with Boeing Co. over two fatal 737 Max plan crashes — a deal opposed by families of the victims.
US District Judge Reed O’Connor on Friday ordered the parties to present arguments on the proposed deal in court on Oct. 11, after which he will decide whether to approve the settlement.
