Malcolm X's Family Sues US Agencies for $100M Over Assassination

The lawsuit accuses the FBI, CIA, and NYPD of complicity and cover-up in the 1965 murder of the civil rights leader.

Malcolm X's family filed a lawsuit claiming the FBI, CIA, and NYPD were aware of the assassination plot and failed to prevent it.
The lawsuit alleges a corrupt relationship between law enforcement and the assassins, leading to a cover-up lasting decades.
Two of the three men convicted for Malcolm X's murder were exonerated in 2021 after withheld evidence surfaced.
The family seeks to uncover the truth and hold agencies accountable for their alleged roles in the assassination.
Attorney Ben Crump, representing the family, stated that new evidence supports claims of government involvement.
