As others have pointed out, we have fraud laws for that. They're weak, but keep a lot of dishonest atrocities at bay.
​
But what about when they lie for other reasons ... for power or votes or to promote ideologies of hatred and oppression? It's hard to make laws about these things. Humans disagree on the morality of these types of lies.
