Olympic Medalist Klete Keller Pleads Guilty to Obstruction Charge in Capitol Breach

Swimmer Klete Keller, who represented the United States in multiple Olympics, pleaded guilty to a felony charge for his role in the deadly attack on Jan. 6 when a pro-Donald Trump mob violently stormed the Capitol.

TMZ Sports reported Keller pleaded guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding and could now be looking at multiple years in prison.

Keller, who was identified in video in part because he wore a Team USA jacket while storming the Capitol, said he spent approximately an hour in the building and destroyed his phone in an effort to erase evidence he was present.
