Klete Keller, who lives in Colorado, appeared during a brief hearing in Denver federal court following his arrest on charges brought by prosecutors in Washington. At the insistence of prosecutors, Magistrate Judge Michael E. Hegarty said Keller could not travel to Washington before Jan. 21. Keller was charged Wednesday in federal court in Washington after a video emerged that appeared to show him among those storming the Capitol last week. SwimSwam said at least a dozen people within the sport have identified the man as Keller after reviewing the video and screenshots.

The FBI affidavit specifically cited screenshots that shows the person identified as Keller wearing a U.S. Olympic team jacket.
