He told Manu he plans to appeal.

Here is the backstory: politico.com/news/2021/04/2…
Per the Capitol Police referral: “Representative Clyburn deliberately avoided being screened by refusing to submit to screening at the West lobby screening point. Congressman Clyburn went to the restroom, came out and continued past the officers… and into the House Chamber.”
His office provided me w/ this stmt on Wednesday:
“Congressman Clyburn respects the rules of the chamber and he disputes the characterization of this incident,” a spokesperson for Clyburn said in a statement, referring to the police referral.
