Boeing has agreed to plead guilty to a criminal fraud conspiracy charge after the US found the company violated a deal meant to reform it after two fatal crashes by its 737 Max planes that killed 346 passengers and crew.

The Department of Justice (DoJ) said the plane-maker had also agreed to pay a criminal fine of $243.6m (£190m).

However, the families of the people who died on the flights five years ago have criticised it as a "sweetheart deal" that would allow Boeing to avoid full responsibility for the deaths. One called it an "atrocious abomination".

Boeing has agreed to plead guilty to a criminal fraud conspiracy charge to avoid a criminal trial in connection with a Justice Department investigation into two deadly crashes involving 737 MAX jetliners, FOX Business can confirm.

The criminal case relates to two 737 MAX jetliner crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia in 2018 and 2019 in which 346 people were killed, leading to demands from the victims' families for Boeing to face prosecution.

Dozens of missing kids were found and three people busted – including a sex offender – in a five-week-long citywide joint operation conducted by the US Marshals Service, NYPD and Homeland Security Investigations.

Officials tracked down 41 “critically missing children” – including those coerced by adults into criminal activity or sex trafficking, or frequent runaways – during “Operation We Will Find You 2,” which spanned more than a month and wrapped up on Monday, the marshals said. 

Rudy Giuliani’s New York law license was revoked on Tuesday amid allegations that he assisted former President Donald Trump’s failed effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Giuliani’s law license remains under review in Washington, D.C.

Joe Biden has described as a "dangerous precedent" a Supreme Court ruling giving former President Donald Trump partial immunity from criminal prosecution.

The current US president said the judgement undermined the "rule of law" and was "a terrible disservice" to Americans.

Earlier, Trump hailed the court's decision as a "big win" for democracy.

The justices found on Monday that a president had immunity for "official acts" but was not immune for "unofficial acts", and referred the matter back to a trial judge.

Special counsel Jack Smith accused former President Donald Trump of pressuring his vice president to derail the election certification in January 2021.

Trump’s interactions with Mike Pence were among several key acts Smith used to bring his election interference indictment against Trump, but the special counsel may now have to scrap these acts because of the Supreme Court’s decision on Monday.

He’s poorly positioned to assist Joe Biden when he needs it most.

No matter how favorable the presidential race has looked for Donald Trump, there’s always been the possibility that special counsel Jack Smith would get to trial with his January 6 case before the election and, at the very least, dominate the news cycle for weeks and, in all likelihood, convict Trump in a case involving more serious matters than hush money to a porn star.

Steve Bannon, a top ally of former President Donald Trump, reported to prison in Danbury, Conn., on Monday to begin a four-month sentence for refusing to comply with congressional subpoenas — a term he sought to paint as a political prosecution.

Bannon spoke to reporters outside the prison before entering the prison grounds at noon.

Conservative podcaster Steve Bannon is due to begin his federal prison sentence on Monday, in what promises to be a turbulent few months for the former Trump advisor.

Here are some key questions about his sentencing:

Why Is Bannon Going To Prison?

Bannon, a former Donald Trump White House chief strategist, was sentenced to four months in October 2022 after he was found guilty of two counts of contempt of Congress.

Former President Donald Trump adviser Stephen K. Bannon reported to federal prison on Monday to begin his four-month prison sentence after being held in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the January 6 Select Committee.

Bannon, the host of the War Room podcast, reported to the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, around noon, according to CBS News.
