Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio says he won't host the originally-planned fundraiser for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton fundraiser at his LA home on Tuesday due to a scheduling conflict.
	The move comes as 41-year-old star has been linked to a USD 3 billion Malaysian embezzlement scandal.
	His rep Shawn Sachs has, however, maintained the scheduling conflict forced the actor to bow out, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
	An unidentified 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. He is not currently filming a movie as an actor.
	Josh Schwerin, a spokesperson with the Clinton campaign, said any suggestion that the scandal is connected to DiCaprio dropping out "is completely false. It's not at all true."
	"If we could have had the event at his home, we would ..

	"I think realising that about myself and not fighting it, but instead just taking care of myself and letting myself recharge and having time on my own and also planning for that has made me better and able to do more.
	"I can be there and super present and giving and then if it's, 'So, now we're going here.' And I'm like, immediately, 'I KNOW I can't do that.' It's not because I'm famous, it's because I have to ..
