May 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department on Friday

plans to meet with the victims of two fatal Boeing 737

MAX crashes that killed 346 people in 2018 and 2019 ahead of a

June 23 trial date the planemaker faces, according to a letter

reviewed by Reuters.

Last month, Boeing ( BA ) CEO Kelly Ortberg said the company was in

discussions with the Justice Department to reach a revised plea

agreement in a criminal fraud case stemming from the

planemaker's alleged misrepresentations to regulators about a

key system on the 737 MAX.

The meeting on Friday will give victims' relatives the

opportunity to confer with the Justice Department but the letter

did not disclose any update in the case.
