Get a competent counsel and ask. As the others say, if you try anything, it is likely to go to court, and depending on your case and theirs you might wish you hadn't gone there... so go warily.

Extortion is a very serious crime and if you actually did extort money from them and they can prove it you can be in deep s**t. You have the right to see the data they have that proves beyond a question of a doubt that you committed extortion; however, be careful because if there is such data then they can hit you with a law suit that will cost you a lot of money. Apparently your boss who fired you was convinced that you committed extortion otherwise he probably wouldn't have fired you. If you did it, I urge you to back off and just leave. You can get yourself into a lot of trouble.

It depends. How's that for a definitive answer?
In some areas, known as "At-will" states, an employer can fire an employee at anytime for any (or no) reason at all. If you live in one of these areas, they don't have to show you any proof. They just have to tell you that you no longer work for them.
Your best bet would be to seek an initial consulation with an attorney (or two) in your area to ask your question. Usually, initial consultations are free, so it won't cost you any money to ask your questions. If the attorney thinks you have a good case, he/she will tell you and will probably offer to represent you in a case against your former employer.

If you sue them and they have proof, they may then elect to prosecute you.
If you did not extort, then you can sue without worrying about charges being held against you.
But, if you did and they are not prosecuting you, let sleeping dogs lie.

Yes, you may. It is your right to be adviced and informed. Remember, being fired does not only affect your finances and career. It also highly affects your reputation as a worker.
You shouldn't be labeled an extortionist if such is yet to be proven to you.

You can demand copies during the Discovery phase of your lawsuit.
Other than that, they don't have to give you squat.

The place to show them to you, is in court. So if you want to take them to work, take them!!
