On Wednesday, five-time Olympic swimming medalist Klete Keller was charged for engaging in the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol; video emerged after what appeared to show him last week among those storming the Capitol.
An FBI complaint, citing video screenshots, demanded that a warrant be released accusing Keller of intentionally accessing a restricted building without legal authority and seeking to hinder an official government function.
During a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6, thousands of Donald Trump supporters invaded the Capitol as lawmakers gathered to formalize President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
The 38-year-old Keller competed in the 2000, 2004, and 2008 Summer Olympics. As a member of the 4×200-meter freestyle relay, he won two golds and a silver and a pair of individual bronzes in the 400.
