The saddest part of this is that it was a great chance to fundamentally alter US politics and return the government more to the people that may well be lost because it was trump that rode that wave of dissatisfaction. If he goes too quick it will be looked at as a blip rather then the desperate wish for change that many americans based their vote on, he has to stick it out and keep trying to affect change because if he just quits americans will never forgive him.
Trump has so far deflected all scandals thrown his way. If he can maintain GOP support, he ain't going anywhere.

It will be the Mid Terms that will depend on his future. A strong Democrat majority in Congress, after mid terms, will see Trump ousted.

Republicans want to get on with the business of changing laws and setting new ones, they own both chambers of Congress and they own the White House, they would still own it if Trump is removed, with Mike Pence sworn in as the 46th President, if any indictments get levied, Pence may Pardon Trump people.

A sitting President cannot be indicted, they have to be removed, impeached and that is a political process, not a common law court case process. The Senate requires a two thirds vote majority to remove a President from office.

If President Trump starts losing GOP backing, he'll be on dodgy ground. But the Republican Senators have to be careful too, because if they vote to remove a democratically elected President, the public may revolt, Trump still has a very strong support base, so Republicans may lose ground and Democrats regain control in both chambers of Congress. Republicans have won all 5 Congressional Seats that have gone up for grabs since Trumps inauguration. The last Seat in Georgia saw the Democrats throw millions of dollars, record amounts to try grab the Seat but they failed after having spent a fortune trying to win it.
