With the 737 Max still grounded and the world waiting for investigators to explain last week's deadly Ethiopian Airlines crash, the focus is increasingly on Boeing. Sources tell CBS News the fraud unit at the Department of Justice subpoenaed documents, records and data relating to the 737 Max approval process. The Seattle Times reported the assessment appeared to downplay the operation of the anti-stall system believed to have repeatedly pushed the nose down on a Lion Air 737 Max that crashed in October. Boeing has been making test flights to evaluate the software updates they plan to install to fix the Max. Ethiopian investigators are pledging to speed up their inquiry and release a preliminary report in eight to 10 days.
