'We've got a couple of surprises left': Rudy Giuliani echoes Donald Trump daughter-in-law's hint that the Republican has something up his sleeve

• e-mail

Rudy Giuliani echoed Donald Trump's daughter-in-law this morning by hinting that the candidate has an 'October surprise' in the works.

'Fox & Friends' host Brian Kilmeade asked the Trump surrogate if the Republican nominee for president has 'anything except for a series of inspiring rallies' on the docket before Election Day.

'Yes,' Giuliani replied. 'What?' Fox and Friends' Ainsley Earhardt inquired.

Laughingly mischievously, Giuliani told her, 'You'll see. We've got a couple of surprises left.'

Rudy Giuliani echoed Donald Trump's daughter-in-law this morning and hinted that an 'October surprise' is in the works

Host Steve Doocy asked if they were 'October surprises? Or early November surprises,' to which Giuliani said, 'Surprises in the that way we're gonna campaign to get our message out there, maybe in a little bit of a different way.'  

Trump's daughter-in-law Lara, married to middle son Eric, teased an 'October surprise' on Fox & Friends Monday.

'Well there's still a couple days left in October,' said Lara Trump. 'We've got some stuff up our sleeve.'

The Fox trio pressed Giuliani to provide a teaser but he would only tell them, 'You'll see - and I think it will be enormously effective.'

Continuing, he said, 'And I do think that all of these revelations about Hillary Clinton, finally, are beginning to have an impact.

'I think this last McAuliffe one was a, just a shot right to the, what they call in boxing, the solar plexus.' 

Giuliani was referring to a Wall Street Journal article exposing Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe's $467,500 contribution to the state senate campaign of Dr. Jill McCabe, whose husband Andrew is now the deputy director of the FBI, in 2015.

McAuliffe's political action put money toward McCabe's campaign and so the Virginia Democratic Party. All said, the more than $675,000 the two entities donated accounted for a third of McCabe's campaign funds.

The Virginia governor is a close confidante of the Clintons. A spokesman told WSJ that he supported McCabe 'because he believed she would be a good state senator. 

'This is a customary practice for Virginia governors… Any insinuation that his support was tied to anything other than his desire to elect candidates who would help pass his agenda is ridiculous.'

Donald Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump also hinted the campaign had something 'up our sleeve' that could be damaging to Hillary Clinton in the last 15 days of the race

With two weeks left until Election Day, Lara Trump – appearing on the Fox & Friends program with Lynne Patton, the vice president of the Eric Trump Foundation – said Monday that she and the family were 'feeling great,' while talking about the tough realities of October, always a brutal month in presidential politics.  

'Well, listen, like he said, people have been preparing us for October and the last couple weeks leading up to the election and for quite some time,' she said, repeating comments her husband made Sunday on 'This Week' with George Stephanopoulos.

'I think we all knew it would be tough, but this is new to all of us,' she continued. 

'None of us have ever been involved in politics and I don't think anything can prepare you for, daily, your family member just getting bludgeoned by the media, all angles, all sides, it has been tough,' she relented. 

Lara's husband Eric made many of the same points in his interview with Stephanopoulos.

He defended his father against sexual assault allegations thrown at the Republican nominee post-'p****' video and debate denial that Trump actually groped and kissed women without their consent. 

More to come? Hillary Clinton's campaign has denied having anything to do with at least 12 women coming out and saying they were groped or kissed by Trump

'My father is a guy who will fight and he will fight for this country and he's always fought for himself,' Eric said when Stephanopoulos asked him about his father's threat to sue his accusers after the presidential election.

When Stephanopoulos pointed out that one of the accusers, People magazine reporter Natasha Stoynoff, had told six different friends and colleagues about what happened at the time, Eric Trump said he still didn't buy it.  

'George, I just don't believe it, I just don't believe it. And then you come out with – with three weeks left in an election, three weeks left in an election. And you know what somebody told me?' Eric Trump said. 

'They go, Eric, get ready for October. They told me this months and months ago, get ready for October. Your family will live through the worst, most unthinkable, hardest month of your lives. Get ready for October,' the Trump son continued. 

'What they'll throw at you, what the Clinton machine will throw at you, you know, the dirty tricks, the things that will come out, the things that they'll orchestrate,' he added. 

The Clinton campaign has denied having anything to do with at least 12 women coming out and saying they were groped or kissed by Trump. 

Looking on the bright side, Lara Trump said, 'It actually has brought us closer together as a family.' 

'Because when you go through something like this. You actually have each other and I'm actually grateful for that,' she said. 

Lara, along with Patton, are part of a coalition of female surrogates trying to improve The Donald's numbers among women voters.  

She vouched for her father-in-law, explaining that while it was 'intimidating to meet your future in-laws in any capacity' she was 'shocked by how engaging he was with me.'

'When Donald Trump talks to you one-on-one he looks you in the eye, he speaks very softly, he's very different than the Donald Trump we see onstage,' she testified. 'And I was really impressed by that personal level that he got down to with me.'
