To summarize:

- Checksumming a file insures that the file has not been corrupted
- Verifying a file insures that the file has not been tempered with

To download gnupg:

https://gnupg.org/download/index.html

To checksum gnupg files you will fine the checksums in the announcement
e-mail which can be found at:

https://gnupg.org/index.html#sec-3-2

For example, the checksums for 2.2.17 are to be found at:
