AS of right now today he is... no convictions yet.

False, It's about indictment, not convictions. That said, the House could ignore the rules.

 

"Each party adopts its own set of rules at the start of each Congressional session. The GOP’s conference rule, House Rule 26(a), and the Democratic party’s caucus rule, Rule 4, each have the same rules about holding a leadership position while under indictment.

They both say a member who has been indicted for a felony that could carry a sentence of two or more years imprisonment needs to vacate their position."
