You can be cooperative and tell the truth about what happened. If there were any witnesses to the comments, provide their names. You can request they bring in an experienced outside investigator, but they are not required to do so. Ultimately, the employer will have to decide who to believe and has the discretion to decide what action to take.

Nothing, other than tell the truth and seek out witnesses names to provide the company in their investigation, that will support your story. .
