Olympic swimmer Klete Keller was charged with additional charges for his alleged role in the Capitol riot.
The two-time gold medalist, 38, was initially charged by federal authorities in January with three crimes: obstructing law enforcement, violent entry and disorderly conduct, and entering a restricted building.
On Wednesday, a grand jury answered a new indictment accusing him of seven crimes, including civil disorder, obstruction of official proceedings, entering a confined building, disorderly conduct in a confined building and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building.
Calls to the numbers listed for Keller were not answered on Friday, and his attorney could not be immediately reached for comment.
A video Posted to Twitter by a Townhall Media reporter, Keller showed up at the Capitol on January 6 with a group of supporters of President Donald Trump. In the video, the crowd turned against police officers who tried to evacuate the roundabout.
Keller could be seen in the footage wearing his “USA” jacket. No video has been released showing Keller taking part in any of the violent acts in the Capitol.
Sarah Hirshland, CEO of the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee, said in a January statement that she condemned the “actions of the rioters in the Capitol.” USA Swimming released a statement expressing similar sentiments.
Keller, who was a teammate of Michael Phelps, has not publicly discussed his alleged participation in the Capitol.
The athlete was last registered as a member of USA Swimming in 2008. After leaving the sport, he worked as an independent contractor for the Colorado Springs real estate agency Hoff & Leigh, but resigned last month.
More than 200 people have been charged with the riot, which took place after pro-Trump supporters violated the Capitol in protest against the Electoral College vote confirming Joe Biden’s presidential victory.
