The House of Representatives could file articles of impeachment against the justice, which is approximately the equivalent of a Grand Jury indictment. If the House votes to impeach, the Senate will hold a trial to determine whether the justice should be removed from office. Impeachment does not carry legal consequences; conviction in the Senate serves only to remove the official from public office.
The justice may additionally face criminal charges and disbarment, but neither of these actions would be initiated by Congress.
