Unless I’m missing something, the charges have already been made and he’s given his plea. It’s federal charges (terrorism) and it’s my understanding that the state couldn’t then charge him over the same crime, only other crimes that were significantly different.
Google "Dual Sovereignty"
(Edit: Wikipedia article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Jeopardy_Clause#Dual_sovereignty_doctrine)
Even if he gets acquitted/pardoned in either the state or federal, the other can still try the case.
It's both state and federal charges; the terrorism charge is a state one
I'm basing this 0on the video of his lawyer yesterday, saying that the state and feds are fighting over him like a football. Maybe it's been resolved since then.
