Did Steve actually lie to Tony though? I mean, when would the subject have even come up?
And regarding him just not telling Tony, ok, I mean, yes, if Steve and Tony were actually close trusted friends, or even if Steve had been able to bring Bucky in before CW and Bucky and Tony would in be in a situation where they would actually be interacting with each other, then yes, I would think Steve had an obligation to tell him. But as far as MCU goes, Bucky hadn’t hadn’t been brought in yet, and Steve and Tony are “friends from work”, and that’s it. There’s no indication that I know of that they had any interaction between Avengers 1 and CA:WS, and then they were on a team together less than a year before Ultron happened and Tony resigned from the team. And then Tony again goes behind the team’s back on the Accords. (Because of course he knows better than everyone else what’s the best thing to do. Again.) I mean, if I was Steve, I would have had a hard time trusting him either with such a volitile piece of information, especially regarding my best friend who’d been tortured and brainwashed into committing said murder.
