To attest to something is to tell someone that a statement is true based on the evidence of your personal experience.
A: Why weren’t you here yesterday?
B: I was at C’s house.
C: I can attest to that.
C can’t prove B is telling the truth unless C has video cameras in the house or other hard evidence. C is saying instead, “You can trust me. I know B was at my house because I was there with B.”
