The actor was in Washington, D.C., to testify for the prosecution in the multimillion-dollar conspiracy and fraud trial.
"I am an actor," DiCaprio told the Washington, D.C. jury. He wore a suit and tie and a dark face mask that he took off as he was sworn in to testify. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has required face masks inside her courtroom as she presides over the high-profile trial to help prevent any COVID-related delays.
"The Wolf of Wall Street" needed a backer and DiCaprio said he found one in Low, who funded the film on a"personal"level" and helped convince other investors to support the endeavor, according to the actor. DiCaprio is not accused of any wrondoing in the case. As the 2012 presidential election approached, DiCaprio told prosecutors he and Low had a"casual conversation" about what party to support and who the actor was backing. Low revealed at that time he and others were set to give $20-30 million in support of the Democratic Party, a"significant sum," DiCaprio said.
