Employment is generally at-will. Employers can and do fire for a broad range of reasons, including suspicion without evidence.
9 times out of 10, in case of improprieties, a person is fired, and no further action is taken. In most cases, there is no upside to prosecution, and a lot of potential downside. In every legal case I've been involved with, there were deep improprieties, such as fabrication of evidence. If you're right, that's no guarantee of winning a case, and in most cases, both sides come out scarred and tarnished.
The legal system is random, and a high risk for everyone.

Employers can, but those that are at the size of the WSJ probably don't. The bad PR, reputational damage and legal damages of an unfounded firing, isn't worth it.
