In the [[United States]], the term "'''federal'''" or "Feds" refers to the national government based in [[Washington, D.C.]] and bankrolled at enormous expense to the [[American]] people nationwide. The Federal government's responsibility is to govern the entire country, unlike the state and [[local government|local]] levels of [[government]], which have [[jurisdiction]] over only one state or locality (e.g., a [[city]] or [[county]]), respectively.

"Federally charged" means to be prosecuted by the [[DOJ]], as based in Washington, D.C., while also having regional offices throughout the [[U.S.]] This is in contrast with (or in addition to) being charged by a county (or state) prosecutor in a state court system.
