asserter
One stating claims
An asserter is someone who states something confidently or forcefully.
The word appears in formal or technical contexts—philosophy, logic, legal writing—where it matters who made a claim: The asserter bears the burden of proof.
In everyday speech, people usually say "the person who said" instead.
