State charges and federal charges are two separate things, legally (even if the same conduct by the defendant violated both laws), so the double jeopardy clause does not apply.
Presidential pardons do not apply to state charges (which makes sense) - the Governors of each state can pardon people for state crimes.
Also, the headline is wrong - SDNY (typically an abbreviation for the US Attorneys Office for the Southern District of New York) is a federal prosecutorial agency, he surrendered to the Manhattan District Attorney’s office, which is the state equivalent.

My understanding is that these are state charges, to which a federal (presidential) pardon is irrelevant.

It's "double jeapordy," and no. And he did it, right?
