WASHINGTON, (Reuters) – A Boeing ex-chief technical pilot was charged with fraud in deceiving Federal regulators who were evaluating its 737 MAX aircraft. Federal Aviation Administration officials called him a “scapegoat.”

Mark Forkner’s lawyers claimed that an FAA official who had personal knowledge about the 737 MAX contacted government officials and stated that Forkner was a scapegoat and shouldn’t be charged. According to the court filing, it was not revealed who this official was.

A U.S. Judge was asked by lawyers to grant permission for current and former FAA officials to speak with Forkner’s defense group.
