There are essentially two government agencies that can prosecute a criminal, state government and the federal government. There are crimes that can be committed in a state that will be tried as a state offense or a federal offense, sometimes these areas can overlap and there is an option to try the crime as either a state or federal offense. In some rare occasions a crime can be tried as both a state and federal offense.
