[edit] False Statement
Hello, I'm the creator of this link. In retrospect, I did notice it to be a bit political, so I changed the example of the US political examples to 2 hypothetical situations. I hope this helps.
A lie and a false statement are not mutually exclusive. A lie is purported to be true, but it's actually a statement that's known to be untrue and used to deceive the second or third party in a coversation.
A false statement is a statement that's untrue, but malicious intent may or may not be the motivation.
