"Should a person in a position of power be permitted to lie to people to sway their opinion?"

Yes.

If you don't like it, then you can counter the speech that you disagree with, using speech of your own.

Let the marketplace of ideas sort it out.

I can read the facts and read competing opinions and then come to a conclusion on my own about who I agree with.

I do not need some gatekeeper deciding for me what I should believe.

The value of allowing "lies", is that you don't have gatekeepers or censors deciding for you about what you should believe.
