Lawyer-speak

“They’ve set up an Iron Curtain so you can’t get out the New York Post story which I happened to know is 100 percent accurate,” Giuliani declared. “But even if it isn’t accurate, the American people are entitled to know it.”

Honestly, this is the way pleadings are often written.  Only usually (in my experience), it's defense attorneys saying it's not true, but if it is true, then, blah, blah, blah. I've seen those pleadings with my own eyes in the years I worked for attorneys in San Francisco.
Giuliani recently acknowledged that he specifically peddled the salacious Hunter Biden laptop story to the New York Post because they wouldn’t “spend all the time they could to try to contradict it before they put it out.” Other news outlets have reportedly passed on reporting on the laptop material for fear that it can’t be verified and may be part of a targeted disinformation effort.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
