Money laundering comes to mind. Obstruction of justice. Maybe tax evasion (you can bet Mueller has his tax returns by now). But Mueller wouldn't be taking things out of Congress' hands because he has a different function, which is to investigate whether crimes were committed, whether by Trump or by others. Congress itself doesn't have the power to prosecute. Prosecution would be handled by the U.S. Attorney's office for the district where the crime was committed. Some crimes might also be prosecuted by the State of New York, because state crimes can't be pardoned.
