Thank you for following along with our live updates of Donald Trump's inauguration-eve rally. 

It's past 9pm in Washington, DC and we're entering the final hours of Joe Biden's presidency. 

Here are the key updates from today: 

• Trump and JD Vance participated in a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery
• UFC boss Dana White called for unity ahead of the presidential transition 
• During his victory rally speech, Trump signposted "aggressive" measures at the US-Mexico border
• Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong talked up ties with the US 

We'll be back later this evening to cover Inauguration Day, where Trump will be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States.  

In the meantime, here is a piece by my colleague Dannielle Maguire, which lays out what you need to know about the proceedings. 

Also during his victory rally speech, we heard Donald Trump mention plans to release classified documents relating to the assassinations of historic figures. 

"In the coming days, we are going to make public remaining records related to the assassinations of President John F Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy, as well as Dr Martin Luther King Jr and other topics of great public interest," he said. 

It's not the first time we've heard the president-elect discuss releasing these documents. 

While on the campaign trail, he promised to release classified intelligence and law enforcement files on the 1963 assassination of JFK. 

He also made a similar promise for his first term, and did release some documents relating to JFK's death. 

But he ultimately bowed to pressure from the CIA and FBI and kept a significant chunk of the documents under wraps, citing national security concerns.

In his speech today, Trump didn't specify which documents he'd make public, nor promise everything would be released. 

Trump's health and human services secretary-designate, Robert F Kennedy Jr, the son of Robert Kennedy and nephew of JFK, has said he believes the CIA was involved in his uncle's death, an allegation the agency has described as baseless.

RFK Jr has also said he believes his father was killed by multiple gunmen, an assertion that contradicts official accounts.

Former Australian ambassador to the US Joe Hockey says he expects Donald Trump's presidency to be "disruptive".

"Even though it's going to be a plain vanilla inauguration, the next four years, there's nothing that's going to be plain vanilla," he told ABC News Breakfast. 

"It is going to be a huge volume of disruptive activity from virtually the moment Donald Trump swears the oath onwards.

"He's already flagged that he is going to sign over 100 executive orders in the first couple of hours of his presidency."

He said it's essential that Australia maintains good relations with the incoming administration.

"Australia is in a very good position, but we have to work hard to maintain that positive position.

"On national security, and a range of other areas, America needs Australia. So it is very much a relationship based on fair exchange rather than being a sycophantic relationship." 

Joe Biden and his wife Jill will travel to Santa Ynez, California on Monday after attending Donald Trump’s inauguration, the White House announced.

They will depart the Capitol after the ceremony and attend a farewell event with former staffers at Joint Base Andrews outside of Washington before boarding an Air Force plane for the trip.

The plane will be known as "Special Air Mission 46" — for the 46th president — and not "Air Force One", since Biden will no longer be the sitting president after noon on Monday. 

The Bidens previously vacationed in Santa Ynez over the summer after Biden ended his bid for reelection.

Most presidents get to move into the White House once. president-elect Donald Trump is doing it twice, and his wife, Melania, says it’s a lot easier the second time around.

“I know where I will be going. I know the rooms where we will be living. I know the process,” the incoming first lady said recently.

She described their first move to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in 2017 as "challenging".

Regardless of who is president, the whole process also challenges the White House residence staff. 

The maids, butlers and others who look after the president’s private living space have about five hours — from start to finish — on Inauguration Day to move out one first family and settle in the next one.

"Everything needs to be planned to the minute," Melania Trump said on Fox News.

The clock starts ticking when the outgoing and incoming presidents leave the White House together for a shared limousine ride to the Capitol for the swearing-in.

"As soon as they leave, the executive residence staff swings into action," Matthew Costello, chief education officer of the White House Historical Association, said during a recent online program about Inauguration Day history. 

"Essentially, staff is working nonstop to inventory, process and move all of the personal items of one first family out and a new first family in."

On Friday, president-elect Donald Trump said his inauguration had been moved inside the US Capitol.

That's because Washington, DC is experiencing some particularly frigid weather right now. 

Here are some photos from outside the Capitol to get an idea of just how icy it is. 

Donald Trump's second term as president of the United States is about to begin.

On Monday, local time, he'll be inaugurated and walk back into the White House.

And he's indicated, he'll immediately begin ticking off his lengthy to-do list.

Here's some of what Trump and the incoming members of his administration have said we can expect.

As Trump was preparing to retake the White House, most of his choices for his incoming cabinet gathered for the first time at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC on Saturday night.  

They were attending a closed-door, formal event known as the vice-president's dinner.

While Kid Rock is strumming out some of his hits at Capital One Arena, Australia's Foreign Minister Penny Wong was speaking to reporters in the capital. 

Wong will attend Donald Trump's inauguration tomorrow. She is the first foreign minister who has been invited to a presidential inauguration. 

"We are only one of a small handful of foreign governments to receive this invitation, a demonstration of the steadfast alliance between Australia and the United States," she says. 

The foreign minister says she is looking forward to meeting with Trump's nominee for secretary of state, Marco Rubio. 

Wong was also asked if Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Trump will meet before Australia's federal election (due before May). 

She says the pair will "engage as appropriate". 

"There's the opportunity at a leaders level, Quad meeting, for wherever that is scheduled," she says. 

"So you know, we are very pleased to be able to engage with the president and his team as and when that is mutually convenient."

There are reports Donald Trump could sign up to 100 executive orders almost as soon as he's sworn in tomorrow. 

During his campaign, Trump made scores of promises on what he would achieve during his first day in office. 

Here's a look at some of those plans, and whether or not they can be done.
