I think if they tried to criminally charge him it would end up back in the Supreme Court as he would argue he is protected from such prosecution for things that occurred while President.
They can do both, and I know there are arguments about indicting a sitting President, but I’ve never heard it argued he couldn’t be indicted after he is out of office either through impeachment or his term has ended.
