Former Olympic swimming gold medalist Klete Keller was hit with federal charges Wednesday for his role in last week’s US Capitol riot — after he was caught on footage wearing his Team USA jacket at the siege, according to new court papers.
A criminal complaint filed Washington D.C. federal court charges Keller, 38, with obstructing law enforcement during civil disorder, knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building without lawful authority and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
The two-time gold medal winner was allegedly spotted in a video from inside the Capitol Rotunda posted last Wednesday by a reporter for the conservative news outlet Townhall.
The FBI confirmed reporting from swimming website SwimSwam that identified Keller as a bearded man seen in the clip wearing a Team USA Olympic jacket, the complaint states.
“PERSON 1 can be seen standing in the Rotunda still wearing the dark-colored USA jacket, which also appears to bear a Nike logo on the front right side and a red and white Olympic patch on the front left side,” an FBI agent wrote in court docs filed Wednesday.

The FBI sure is quick in hunting down these Trump supporters.
A riot? Looks mostly peaceful. Town Hall, Stop snitching.
SO?????!!!!
They want you to be afraid to protest.
Didn’t the Capitol police wave in many of the Trump people?
They should have burned something and spray painted BLM on the walls. It's a get out of jail free card.
These protesters need a class action lawsuit against the FBI, the DNC, Pelosi, Schumer, Capitol police and everyone else involved in this harassment.
They should sue for their civil rights being violated.
Too bad Lin Wood went bat bleep crazy. He would’ve been an excellent attorney to take the case on their behalf.
Uh it's all on camera and people stupidly posted all about it on social media. The FBI will find and arrest everyone who entered... and folks could face extremely long sentences. Stupid.
He should of wore his mask!
It doesn’t matter who walked into the building. 100% of them, along with the mall cops guarding the place, need five licks with a cricket bat on their bare bun.
What happened at the Capitol was despicable and horrific. Each and every one of those terrorists need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. pic.twitter.com/jd5GyNIWzu— Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) January 8, 2021

You're a terrorist if you walk through an open door and are standing in the Rotunda?

The Olympian seems to be caught up in the crowd and is being pushed around. Where’s the crime?
“The two-time gold medal winner was allegedly spotted in a video from inside the Capitol Rotunda posted last Wednesday by a reporter for the conservative news outlet Townhall.”
That’s ironic.
They’re going to have to build another prison to cage all those people. The cost will go into the tens of millions.
FU these people are patriots
How many people just followed the crowd in thinking it was ok?
From first hand accounts about 99%.
Patriots in the most disorganized revolution in all history.
