Why would she "has" to lie? or "have" to lie?

Which is the correct question among the below two?

Answer: She told me that you were the organizer. (she probably lied)

The confusion comes from the possessive (I believe thats what it's called) form where you have question and answer like Answer: Yes, She has a car.
Question: Does she have a car?
