Can you rehire after layoff?

Why did I get fired from my new job?
My boss has admitted that the hiring panel intentionally gave misleading but technically true answers to my questions, saying that they “know [they] have issues” but that I was a good candidate and they didn’t want to scare me away by being “too honest.” I’m trying to give this job a shot, but I’ve also started quietly looking for other employment.
