TL;DR Summary

The family of Malcolm X is suing the FBI, CIA, and NYPD for $100 million, alleging these agencies conspired in his 1965 assassination and failed to prevent it. The lawsuit claims a corrupt relationship between law enforcement and the killers, with federal agents present at the scene but not intervening. The NYPD allegedly removed security and undercover operatives were in the ballroom during the murder. The lawsuit follows the exoneration of two men previously convicted for the murder, after evidence was found to have been withheld.
