Trending: Justice dept Says Boeing Violated Criminal Settlement

10:14 ET -- Boeing is one of the most mentioned companies in the U.S. across all news items in the past 12 hours, according to Factiva data. The Justice Department said Boeing violated a settlement reached three years ago over its employees' role in two fatal jet crashes, exposing the company to potential criminal prosecution over one of the biggest crises in its history. Boeing admitted in January 2021 that two employees misled federal air-safety regulators over facets of the 737 MAX, but it entered into a form of corporate probation that allowed it to avert prosecution at the time. Now, prosecutors say the company failed to live up to obligations that it committed to in the $2.5 billion settlement. Dow Jones & Co. owns Factiva. (chris.wack@wsj.com)
