Video showed the 6'6" Keller, who was wearing a Team USA jacket that he later threw in a garbage can, at the Capitol. "Video captured Keller leading profane chants directed at then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, both Democrats. He resisted efforts to remove him from the Capitol, ripping an elbow away and shaking off a police officer, prosecutors said." As The Athletic noted, prosecutors initially sought 10 months in prison for Keller, who was initially indicted on seven criminal counts in February 2021. Keller, 41, won five Olympic medals for Team USA.
