Abdul Malik Abdul Kareem is accused of providing the guns used in an attack at a controversial cartoon contest deemed blasphemous to Islam in Texas last year.
Investigators say he and the two shooters watched videos depicting violence by jihadists, tried to get pipe bombs, planned the May attack in suburban Dallas and researched travel to the Middle East so they could join Islamic State fighters.
Kareem denies the allegations.
