Answer 1

You investigate a source by independently determining how accurate the information is that he provides - how credible he is. A source may have all the information or know parts of the true story and sometimes can point you in the right direction to find out what the truth is and who is behind what's going on.

Answer 2

I don't think you understand what "source" means. A source is someone who gives you information, therefore you know who that person is.
