  I study a class of verifiable disclosure games where the sender's payoff is
state independent and the receiver's optimal action only depends on the
expected state. The sender's messages are verifiable in the sense that they can
be vague but can never be wrong. What is the sender's preferred equilibrium?
When does the sender gain nothing from having commitment power? I identify
conditions for an information design outcome to be an equilibrium outcome of
the verifiable disclosure game, and give simple sufficient conditions under
which the sender does not benefit from commitment power. These results help in
characterizing the sender's preferred equilibria and her equilibrium payoff set
in a class of verifiable disclosure games. I apply these insights to study
influencing voters and selling with quality disclosure.
