I assume they might contest his self-pardon in Court, but there he has Barrett who would probably protect him. But Trump also has the state of New York to deal with.
I would just leave it to the states. Biden has enough to do without crossing the Trump base directly. Thus far, the conservative judges have been more strict interpretation of the text and will of the authors than loyal to Trump. I heard a 40 to 1 ratio on challenging the election in the courts, and they are not being particularly subtle about it.
If there is anything left when the state prosecutors are finished, I suspect there will be enough time on the statutes of limitation for the feds to mount a challenge.
