Something to consider, think really hard about this:
QUERY:
1) Is it against the law for congress and the senate to lie to the public?
2) What about State Governments?
3) Is it against the law for ANY government official to lie to the public?

GROK:
1) No, it is not against the law for members of Congress (Representatives) or the Senate (Senators) to lie to the public in most circumstances. There is no general federal criminal statute that makes it illegal for elected members of Congress to make false statements to the American people, constituents, the media, or the public at large — even when those statements are knowingly false.

2) No, it is generally not against the law for members of state legislatures (state senators or representatives) to lie to the public, and the legal protections are very similar to those for federal Congress members. Most states have their own versions of the Speech or Debate Clause in their state constitutions. These clauses provide broad immunity for statements made during official legislative proceedings (e.g., floor debates, committee hearings, votes, or reports). Just like the federal clause, this protects state legislators from criminal prosecution, civil lawsuits (such as defamation), or other "questioning" for what they say in those contexts — even if the statements are knowingly false.

3) No, it is generally not against the law for any government official (federal, state, or local) in the United States to lie to the public. There is no broad federal or state criminal statute that makes it illegal for government officials — including presidents, governors, mayors, agency heads, police officers (in public statements), legislators, or other public servants — to knowingly make false statements to the general public, the media, constituents, or citizens at large.
