Will Donald Trump be criminally charged under 18 U.S.C. §2383 (Rebellion or insurrection) before 13 July 2024?

While Donald Trump was facing various federal criminal charges as of December 2023, he had not been charged under 18 U.S.C. §2383, which provides criminal consequences for involvement in "rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof" (Cornell - 18 U.S.C. §2383, Lawfare, Politico). The Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump was disqualified from being president under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment due to him having "engaged in insurrection or rebellion," a decision expected to be reviewed by the US Supreme Court (Congress.gov - 14th Amendment, CBS News, Axios).
