I don't know where you are getting this from. In philosophical discourse usage followed from the Latin scholastic usage in which "true is said many ways" (Aristotle) and is predicated analogously. Truth is primarily in the intellect, since it is the intellect's grasp of being. It is parasitically in words, "propositions," models, etc., words generally being taken as a sign of truth, behaviors as symptoms, etc. The same term involves both lying versus "telling the truth," and "speaking what is so." Per the Doctrine of Transcendentals, truth is coextensive with being yet adds nothing to it (being a conceptual distinction, being qua knowable). A model or statue is "true to life," if it corresponds to what it signifies for instance.
The use of "fact" for "is the case" is not new, it dates to the 16th century. The idea that to speak "what is the case" is to speak truly is as old as Aristotle.
