Donald Trump Jr. on "Good Morning America" on whether his father stayed up late to work on his inauguration speech:"I think he's been working on that for quite some time. I mean, he's been working on it just to get it right, understanding the magnitude of that situation and really, you know, have what would start off his entire presidency. So he spent a lot of time with that and I think now it's about execution."

Inauguration Forecast Calls for Heavy Rain
ABC's Max Golembo and Tara Fowler
The weather forecast is looking bleak for Donald Trump's inauguration.
Some drizzle or a shower could begin as early as 7 a.m. in Washington, D.C., with temperatures hovering in the mid-30s.
By 9:30 a.m. steadier rain is forecast to move into D.C., but temperatures will be warming up into the 40s.
However, by noon -- right when Trump is scheduled to be sworn in as the 45th president of the United States -- heavy showers could be moving in with some moderate to potentially heavy rain.
The rain is expected to leave the area by about 1 p.m., when temperatures will be near 50.

A Look at Where Trump Spent Inauguration Eve
ABC's Jordyn Phelps
At the conclusion of Inauguration Day, the White House will be home to President-elect Donald Trump.
But on the last night before Trump will call 1600 Pennsylvania Ave home, he spent his final night as president-elect at a lesser-known address just across street at 1651 Pennsylvania Avenue.
It's the location of the Blair House, the president's guesthouse.
In a tradition dating back to Jimmy Carter, the president-elect spends the eve of his inauguration at the presidential guesthouse. Some president-elects have stayed at the house for longer, such as Carter, who stayed in the house starting in December ahead of his inauguration.Departing the Blair House, President-elect @realDonaldTrump signs the guest book after thanking the amazing staff.… https://t.co/pMw6gJN1Zs8:37 AM - 20 Jan 2017- Reply

Inside the Massive Inauguration Security EffortABC's Pierre Thomas, Geneva Sands and Jack Cloherty
As thousands of people descend on Washington D.C. for the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, months of security planning, intelligence gathering and coordination are coming to fruition to protect lawmakers and the public.
The event, like the pope’s visit and the Democratic and Republican national conventions, is designated as a national security event, which unlocks federal resources and allows Secret Service to assume the leadership role for security.
While there are no specific or credible threats, almost every federal partner imaginable will be contributing to the security apparatus this weekend, including the FBI, ATF, Park Police, Customs and Border Protection, the Coast Guard, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Energy.
