The term DON'T DENY can be broken down into two crossword solutions, ADMIT and COPTO. ADMIT is a verb meaning to accept or acknowledge something, while COPTO is an acronym for 'Confess Only Part of the Truth'. Both terms are related to the idea of truth-telling, with ADMIT suggesting that one should accept the truth and COPTO suggesting that one should only partially reveal the truth. Together, the two terms suggest that one should not deny the truth, but rather accept it and only partially reveal it.
