They could inform the U.S. House of Representatives, the only body with the right to formally charge a federal official with wrongdoing (called impeachment), they could alert the news media, or, unfortunately but apparently the most common response, they could do nothing.

If the official is a U.S. Senator, they can expel him/her with a 2/3 majority vote.

What happens when congress impeaches or other high official?

When Congress impeaches a high official, such as the President, it initiates a process that involves the House of Representatives bringing formal charges, known as articles of impeachment. If a majority of the House votes in favor, the official is impeached. The case then moves to the Senate, which holds a trial; a two-thirds majority is needed to convict and remove the official from office. If convicted, the official is removed, and the Senate may also bar them from holding future office.
