Former President Donald Trump whined about the Federal Bureau of Investigation's August 8th search warrant execution at his Palm Beach, Florida Mara-a-Lago golf club during a nearly hour-long speech at the right-wing America First Policy Institute's Hispanic Leadership Conference in Miami on Wednesday afternoon.

Trump is the subject of numerous criminal probes by the Department of Justice regarding his mishandling of classified documents after his term ended.

In his keynote address, Trump said that it was unfair that the FBI targeted him instead of foreign drug cartels, whom he accused of "destroying" the United States.

"You know, they spend all their time on nonsense, the FBI, on horrible things. Raiding Mar-a-Lago – let's raid Mar-a-Lago but leave the cartels alone, how bout that?" Trump mused.

"Think of that. I’m just thinking as I’m speaking. You don't mind if I go a little off-script. No, but think. They raided Mar-a-Lago but the cartels, they have their own Mar-a-Lagos and those are fine, leave them alone, let them continue to destroy our country. Think how sick it is. Think how sick it is what's happening in this country," Trump complained.

"We're a country of investigations," he continued. "We don't talk about greatness anymore. Everybody gets investigated. It's all they do is investigate and it's very much a one-way street. I never liked it because I thought it was very bad for the country. But honestly, ultimately, it comes on the other side. It comes on the other side."
