Boeing Turns to High-Powered Defense Attorneys in 737 MAX Investigation
Boeing has assembled a deeply connected defense team to respond to a federal criminal investigation related to the 737 MAX, reports The Seattle Times.
One of the members of the defense team represented Vice President Mike Pence in the Russian interference investigation, another has served as the nation’s deputy attorney general, and a third played a central role in the Russian probe and the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, according to Times reporter Steve Miletich.
Federal prosecutors are using a grand jury in Washington, D.C., to examine the design and certification process of the 737 MAX, after one crash on Oct. 29 off Indonesia and another in Ethiopia on March 10 killed 346 people and led to worldwide grounding of the plane.
