I can tell you

I have information

A conversational phrase used for emphasis, signaling that what follows is certainly true or strongly felt: I can tell you, that was the hardest thing I've ever done.

It invites the listener to trust the speaker's firsthand experience or conviction.

Sometimes appears as I can tell you that or the more formal I can assure you.
