A federal grand jury hears cases having to deal exclusively with alleged violations of federal law. The facts and probable cause gathered is presented to them by a US Attorney and if the individual is indicted their case will be tried in a US District Court.

What is indictment by grand jury?

.... it is known as a 'True Bill of Indictment.' Indictment by a grand jury is the manner in which the government charges individuals with commission of a crime.

If the Grand Jury agrees that the individual should be so charged it issues a written statement making the charges. The statement is called an indictment.
