An eyewitness to the assassination of civil rights leader Malcolm X has come forward, making a shocking claim about the convicted gunman, Thomas Hagan, a member of the Nation of Islam. According to the witness, Mustafa Hassan, Hagan was allegedly involved with law enforcement agencies, including the NYPD, CIA, and FBI.

Hassan, who stated that he was part of Malcolm X’s security detail during his fateful speech at the Audubon Ballroom on February 21, 1965, expressed his certainty about Hagan’s connections with government establishments. “No doubt in my mind – NYPD, CIA, FBI, but he was definitely working for some government establishment,” Hassan declared.

Despite his involvement in such a significant event, Hassan claimed that law enforcement authorities never attempted to interview him or obtain his statement, as he read from his own affidavit.

This recent revelation comes in the context of a pending $100 million lawsuit against the NYPD, FBI, and CIA, to be filed by civil rights attorney Ben Crump on behalf of Malcolm X’s children. Crump cited claims from an undercover NYPD detective, stating that informants were present in the Audubon Ballroom and that the authorities might have been involved in the assassination plot.

“We are putting forth in our legal action that the government was involved in the conspiracy to kill Malcolm X,” Crump emphasized, shedding light on the alleged cover-up of the government’s role in the tragic incident.

In a notable turn of events, the other two men convicted of Malcolm X’s assassination, Muhammed Aziz and Khalil Islam, were exonerated, receiving a $10 million settlement from the city last year.

Ilyasah Shabazz, Malcolm X’s daughter, expressed her dissatisfaction with the recorded history of the event, stating, “I think what history has recorded is inaccurate. So we want the truth to be known. We want the history books to reflect that truth, and we would like justice to be served.”

The FBI declined to comment on the matter, and NY1’s efforts to obtain statements from the Department of Justice, CIA, and NYPD were fruitless. Additionally, attempts to reach Thomas Hagan, who was paroled in 2010, were unsuccessful.

Crump had previously filed a notice of intent to sue the FBI, CIA, and NYPD on the anniversary of Malcolm X’s assassination. However, a six-month waiting period is required when suing the federal government before the formal lawsuit can be filed.

As this astounding allegation continues to unfold, the quest for truth and justice in the assassination of Malcolm X remains at the forefront of public attention.
