The scriptures has a lot of examples, and a lot to say about the sin of lying and slandering others.
If you read in 2 Samuel chapter 10 this whole war and the slaughtering of people was started over lying and slandering David, and David was merely showing kindness and respect to Hanun the son of Nahash the king of the children of Ammon.
And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
Then said David, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David rather sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it? 2 Samuel 10:1-3
This entire war was caused by lying and slandering David.
And of course there is Jezebel, and her cohorts lying and slandering Naboth to get him murdered to get his vineyard 1 Kings 21.
Elohim hates slander Proverbs 6:16, 19. It is evil, and Paul lists it as a behavior of those who hate Elohim Romans 1:30, and why James calls it demonic behavior James 3:15–16.
