DALLAS — Lawrence Jones is the voice and man behind the camera in undercover footage taken at the Urban League of Greater Dallas.

The Project Veritas video captured Affordable Care Act navigators telling enrollees to lie. Two undercover videos were released by the group and Jones said there are more incriminating videos expected to be released Thursday.

A UNT student studying political science and criminal justice, Jones said he teamed up with Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe as part of his conservative activism."

"I suspected there was fraud going on, so through a mutual friend I was teamed up with Project Veritas," he said.

The UNT student said he is one among several working undercover for the group.

Jones described the Urban League of Greater Dallas as unprofessional.

"From the start of it, the lady told me, 'I haven't received all my training,'" he said of an employee at the Urban League's Irving office. "... You haven't received your training and you're trying to guide me on my health care?"

The Urban League identified the female employee as a part-time receptionist. Jones said it wasn't much longer before the navigator urged him to lie on enrollment documents.

"I didn't give her any 'gotcha questions,'" Jones said.

After Jones revealed to the navigator he is a smoker, the employee told him not to put that in the document as it would raise his premiums.

"If you listen to her, she said, 'I always lie,'" he said.

The employee was terminated.

Jones said he's unable to reveal how many navigators he talked with as their investigation continues.

The Urban League of Greater Dallas released a statement in response to the videos:

"[The Urban League of Greater Dallas] does not condone, nor would we ever sanction, misleading the public or any individual who seeks our assistance about any issue, and particular this case, an issue as critical as health care."

The Urban League requested unedited videos as they investigate the incidents.
