DOJ Convenes Grand Jury for Boeing Criminal Probe

The US Justice Department has convened a grand jury as part of a criminal investigation into the Jan. 5 midair blowout of a Boeing Co. door plug on an Alaska Airlines flight, according to a person familiar with the matter.

News of the grand jury, which was reported earlier by the Washington Post, doesn’t necessarily mean the probe will result in charges.
