In a new video, George Zimmerman, the man who shot and killed teenager Trayvon Martin three years ago, accuses President Barack Obama for dividing the nation and blames him for his persecution. He added that he does not feel guilty for killing the teenager.

Zimmerman, 31, released the video through his divorce attorney's website, 1884mydivorce.com. The 13-minute video is in an interview format in which attorney Howard Iken, who is offscreen, asks Zimmerman about the incident. He expressed no remorse for his actions and does not believe he did anything wrong.

In the video, Zimmerman blames the Justice Department, Attorney General Eric Holder and the president for injustices committed against him in the continued investigation into the shooting.

"The federal government, the FBI under the Department of Justice, and Eric Holder," he said, "had gone to Sanford [and] interviewed, in particular, a Sanford sergeant who stated in very clear terms that he did not care whether it was legal or not that I should be prosecuted because of the fear of a civil unrest."

He explained that the DOJ did not investigate whether his civil rights were violated and only focused on Martin's, adding that they failed to investigate into the death threats he and his family experienced.

Though he lays some of the blame at the Justice Department's feet, Zimmerman said the president was also to blame after his attorney asked him who should have been the most fair.

"By far, the president of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama," he said, adding that he believed the president would have done "his absolute hardest to not inflame racial tensions."

However, he faulted the president for his speech in which he said if he had a son he would look like Martin.

"To me that was clearly a dereliction of duty pitting Americans against each other solely based on race," Zimmerman said. "He took what should have been a clear-cut self-defense matter, and still to this day on the anniversary of [the] incident he held a ceremony at the White House inviting the Martin-Fulton family."

Asked whether he had wished for the incident to have turned out differently, Zimmerman said, "God does everything for a purpose," and as a Christian, second-guessing the event "would be hypocritical and almost blasphemous." However, he added, "[I] cannot feel guilty for surviving [in a] true life or death scenario."

Zimmerman continued laying blame, saying the media portrayed him as a racist white man because of his last name, disregarding his Hispanic background. He also said the Hispanic Congressional Caucus failed to side with him.

The video was released in response to the Justice Department officially closing the investigation into Trayvon Martin's death last month. The statement said the federal investigation failed to find sufficient evidence to pursue a case of civil rights violation against Zimmerman.
