Federal prosecutors are attorneys who work for the government at the national level. They are responsible for enforcing federal laws and representing the government in criminal cases. Their duties include investigating crimes, gathering evidence, and presenting cases in court against individuals or organizations accused of violating federal laws. These prosecutors operate within the Department of Justice and often handle serious offenses such as drug trafficking, fraud, and terrorism. They collaborate with various law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and DEA, to build strong cases and ensure that justice is served in the federal judicial system.
