Charges are filed with the U.S. Attorney's Office - prosecuted in one of the U.S. DIstrict Courts spread around the country. If the case is appealed it goes to the U.S. Court of Appeals for that particular judicial district - if the case is appealed further, it is forwarded to the Supreme Court of the US for their consideration. The US Supreme Court is the end of the line for the federal system.
