Jesus repeatedly exposed political figure's lie (5)
I believe the answer is:
story
'lie' is the definition.
(story is a kind of lie)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for story that I've seen before include "Account, tale" , "Narration" , "See 10 and 19" , "Rumour" , "Anecdote" .)
