Truth and facts are not the same thing.
A single statement of a fact in and of itself will be "true".
Someone can be telling "the truth" and still be wrong. They believe that what they are staying is factual. They aren't lying they just got it wrong.
A lie is when you deliberately and consciously distort information. You can do this by editing the facts you present. Each fact is and off itself "true" but the collection can be false especially if you cherry pick only the facts that support your premise.
