You can’t and you shouldn’t. People in power need to be careful with the information they give the people they serve. If it’s wrong at the time it was communicated, too bad. The person should have been more careful.

I'm not sure how that could work. If we can't distinguish between those how would you write enforceable laws or regulations?

Its all well and good to have a blanket statement that politicians shouldn't lie. It entirely different to codify such an aspiration.
