Verification doesn't have to be about trust. It's a feedback loop.
When delegating work, I always trust the people I delegate to. However, I verify what's done in order to make sure we're on the same page in terms of how things got done, and even to make sure that I communicated what I needed done effectively.
You can distrust and verify as well, but you're verifying for different reasons.
