DiCaprio backs out of Hillary Clinton fundraiser

Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio says he won’t host the originally-planned fundraiser for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton at his LA home on Tuesday due to a scheduling conflict.

The move comes as 41-year-old star has been linked to a $3 billion Malaysian embezzlement scandal. His representative, Shawn Sachs, has, however, maintained that the scheduling conflict forced the actor to bow out, according to The Hollywood Reporter. A source close to the event has claimed the reason DiCaprio backed out was work-related, that his current project will keep him in New York until Wednesday.

The actor is taking his documentary The Turning Point to the Toronto Film Festival in September. Josh Schwerin, a spokesperson with the Clinton campaign, said any suggestion the scandal is linked to DiCaprio dropping out “is completely false. It’s not at all true.”
