Boeing Co. wants to withdraw a deal with US prosecutors to plead guilty to misleading regulators prior to two deadly crashes of its 737 Max aircraft, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The planemaker is pursuing the maneuver in a bid for potential leniency from the Trump administration, which is reviewing many pending white-collar criminal cases that haven’t yet been finalized by the courts, the newspaper reported.
