Speaking at a news conference, Crump said there was "there is speculation about who was involved in the killing of Malcolm X" in the early years since 1965.
"If anyone deserves justice (after) these decades, then they are these women," said Crump.
Crump said government agencies "have factual evidence, mitigating evidence that they fraudulently hide from people who were unfairly punished for the killing of Malcolm X".
When asked if he believed government agencies conspired to kill Malcolm X, Crump said: "That's what we are accusing, yes. They infiltrated many civil rights organizations."
Meanwhile, lawyers from the people released said the 1966 trial that convicted Muhammad Aziz and the late Khalil Islam said the authorities had hidden evidence that was beneficial to the defense.
It is known, Malcolm X became famous as a national spokesman for the Nation of Islam, an Islamic and black nationalist movement. He left the organization in 1964.
