Does the Senate not have a 'you must not lie' rule, as is in use in parliaments in democracies?
Amazingly, no. There is great leniency to say whatever you like (and, unlike in public, have zero liability for doing so) when speaking in the Congress/Senate.
Congress is immune to any form of legal prosecution from ‘misleading or incomplete’ statements. Censure and removal are about it.
