Martin Luther King Jr. was heavily surveilled by the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover as part of COINTELPRO. They wiretapped him and tried to discredit him with smear campaigns, including claims about his personal life. Historians generally view a lot of this as attempts to undermine the civil rights movement rather than neutral investigation.

They did a bit more than that to him

A lot of American law enforcement is just Isekai’d Nazis rescued by America after WW2 was over, Operation Paperclip.
And since that time (1945) American policing has been overrun by psycho deluded fascists.

Remember when public found there was a tree that made killing shot highly impossible? Police took that tree for “expertise” the next day
It funny that the same right wingers who believes in this lies created by the FBI are also crying over Waco and Oklahoma bombing claiming that “FBI was covering up Waco or FBI setup Timothy McVeigh to take Muh guns!”

Their intention was to discredit him and it worked… which is why I’m a huge Malcolm X fan.
