falsifiers
Those who fabricate
Falsifiers are people who deliberately make something false—altering documents, fabricating evidence, or distorting facts.
The term carries a formal, accusatory weight: The falsifiers of history must be exposed.
A falsifier doesn't merely lie; they corrupt something that was true or create something designed to deceive.
