How would you rule an insight check.

Hi everyone. I ran my first session last night, it went pretty well and laughs were had.

One thing that I struggled with was the concept of an 'insight check' as you would call it 5e. An NPC was waxing lyrical and a player wanted to see if they were telling the truth. We ended up going with 'Assess A Situation' as it sounded the closest, but I wasn't too happy with it, particularly as the questions resulting from a success don't include "Is this person lying to me?"

How have other GMs managed this concept?
