Klete Keller, a five-time Olympic medalist and ex-teammate of Michael Phelps, was among the throng of President Trump supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol last week, according to videos posted online, writes Rick Maese of The Washington Post.

Keller, a decorated swimmer who represente­d the United States at the Summer Olympics in 2000, ’04 and ’08, is seen towering over others inside the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, wearing a Team USA jacket. Keller’s participat­ion was first reported Monday by SwimSwam, a popular swimming website.

Keller, 38, has made no public comments about his presence at the Capitol. He did not return phone messages or emails seeking comment Monday, and his telephone was no longer accepting messages on Tuesday.

Keller has deleted his social media accounts.
