Legal Question in Employment Law in Illinois

My employer terminated me with the reason of manipulating numbers. There are hundreds of people with access to that report but I was the one singled out. My assistant stated to one of my employees that I told him that I turned in my GM and thats how I got my position and he did the same thing. He set me up and they have no evidence to back their claim. Do I have a case here? He is also going around saying that he saw me stealing from the company on video which is an outrageous claim.

You are going to have several issues: obtaining unemployment (they will say they terminated you due to misconduct) and obtaining future employment (theft on your employment record is a big problem. If you didn't manipulate numbers and/or steal and the company tells third parties that this is what you did, you will have a claim for defamation.
