If the top secret documents are as sensitive as has been reported and if there is proof that he shared them, think about WHOM he would have shared them with. This could be a treason charge of giving aid to a US enemy.
But, it still would not resolve the problem of the many ways that Trump got away with illegalities and unethical behavior while in office. There would still be the problem of conviction and punishment to make it clear to ALL future presidents that this country will not tolerate abuses of power by office holders even up to the president. So, once DOJ gets Trump convicted on the documents, the rest of his crimes still need to be prosecuted.
Congress, based on recommendations from the J6 committee, can close the loopholes that Trump took advantage of and pass laws to preserve the checks and balances from abuses by any branch of government.
