WASHINGTON, March 24 (Reuters) - Boeing (BA.N), opens new tab is seeking to withdraw an agreement to plead guilty in a criminal case that blamed the company for deceiving regulators before two deadly crashes of 737 MAX jets, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.

A U.S. judge in December rejected the deal, faulting a diversity and inclusion provision, and Boeing and the Justice Department have been negotiating toward a new agreement.

President Donald Trump took over on January 20, giving his administration a chance to weigh in on the deal.

Boeing declined comment. The Justice Department did not immediately comment.
