The president of a student group at the University of Minnesota is denying any involvement in alleged "dirty tricks" at the campaign offices of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

According to an article for TIME published earlier today by Zeke Miller:

Anders Koskinen, president of Students for a Conservative Voice, said tonight the contact number for the organization is actually the phone number for Allison Maass, the former editor of a newspaper published by the organization.

Koskinen said Maass, "has graduated and is no longer affiliated with the group." He added, "we have no associations to the actions taken by these people against the Clinton campaign." Koskinen also disavowed the alleged tactics used by these people, saying "we do not engage in activities in any way similar to this."

Maass did not respond to a request for comment and her phone number has since been removed from a website for Students for a Conservative Voice.
