The Senate can’t do charges — that takes the House impeaching him or the Justice Department filing criminal charges. A senate committee can however, gather evidence, and then pass it to the Justice Department with a recommendation that they prosecute. That’s what’s going on here.

Probably can’t do one new set of crimes per day (the Senate doesn’t move that fast) but it’s definitely happening.
