Donald Trump's daughter-in-law forced to confirm she and Melania voted for Republican candidate after poll photos

Eric Trump’s wife Lara has been forced to clarify both she and Melania Trump did vote for Donald Trump after photos circulated appearing to show both the Republican candidate and his son double checking who their wives were casting the ballot for. 

On Tuesday, aka election day, both Mr Trump and the Democrat candidate, Hillary Clinton, headed down to the polls to vote for themselves. Mr Trump and his wife Melania headed down to a public school near Trump Tower in New York while Ms Clinton and her former president husband Bill voted in the Chappaqua are of the city.

A video of Mr and Mrs Trump appearing to show the 70-year-old peering over to check his wife’s ballot sheet has since made the rounds on the internet with people suggesting he was double checking she was voting for him after all.

Ironically, a very similar photo showing the same interaction with his son Eric and his wife Lara also surfaced forcing her to clarify that both she and Melania did vote head of the Trump dynasty.

“I haven’t seen any of those [videos],” she told CNN. “I didn’t know my husband was checking it out but I think we can all feel safe in saying Melania and I voted for Donald Trump for the presidency of the United States.

“That’s very funny actually. It shows you the similarities that Eric and his dad share,” she chuckled.
