You don't: check the manual. When using verify -signer *writes* the
signers certificate to the file given. This is useful for sending
subsequent encrypted mail (provided the signers certificate is the same
as the encryption cert).
What you need is the CA certificate(s) in the usual directory or single
file specified by the -CApath or -CAfile arguments.
