WASHINGTON, D.C. — The US Justice Department is offering Boeing a plea deal that will allow it to avoid a trial related to two deadly 737 MAX crashes, a lawyer for the victims' families said on Sunday, expressing outrage.

Details of the deal, which requires Boeing to pay a fine and submit to an outside supervisor, were given to the families in a two-hour presentation by the Department of Justice (DoJ) on Sunday, said Paul Cassell, a University of Utah law professor who represents the families.
