The family of Malcolm X is suing the FBI, CIA, and NYPD for $100 million, alleging their involvement in the civil rights leader’s 1965 assassination.

The lawsuit claims law enforcement conspired with the killers, removed security, and failed to intervene despite undercover agents being present.

Attorney Ben Crump asserts a cover-up concealed this connection for years. Malcolm X, 39, was shot 21 times while preparing to speak in New York.

Two men convicted of his murder were exonerated in 2021 after withheld evidence revealed a miscarriage of justice, the BBC has reported.

The NYPD declined to comment, and federal agencies have yet to respond.
