I didn't mean to imply that they'd be state charges. Federal charges have to have a venue, and venue is generally chosen based on where the crime took place. These would be in a different venue because the crime arguably took place in New Jersey rather than Florida.

Wasn't the wilful retention in Florida? And if they're interconnected, maybe they just bundled it together.

It was. But dissemination wasn't one of the charges in the Florida indictment, which suggests that they're either not going to charge him with dissemination, or they're holding off on those charges for now.
