The family of Malcolm X has filed a $100 million federal lawsuit against the FBI, CIA, New York Police Department, and the Department of Justice, accusing them of involvement in the civil rights leader's 1965 assassination. The lawsuit, filed by Malcolm X's three daughters and supported by Attorney Crump, alleges that these government entities were aware of credible threats against Malcolm X's life but failed to intervene, allowing his murder to be carried out. Malcolm X, a prominent civil rights leader, was reportedly shot 21 times in the attack. The lawsuit seeks justice and accountability for what the family describes as a deliberate conspiracy and cover-up by the U.S. government and its agencies.
