President-elect Donald Trump's Inauguration Day on Jan. 20 is in a few days. Here's what will take place now that the ceremonies have been moved inside.
DALLAS - Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has directed that American flags on state property be flown at full staff to mark President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration next week, bypassing the national mourning period for former President Jimmy Carter. The move has sparked both praise and criticism on social media.

Flags over the State Capitol and all state buildings will be flown at full-staff on Inauguration Day before returning to half-staff to continue to mourn Jimmy Carter's death.
The president-elect had expressed concern that Democrats seemed happy to see the flag lowered during the inauguration ceremony despite the tradition of lowering flags after a president's death.

A senior administration official said it was a protective move, so that the contents of the website would not be “lost to history” if the Trump team took it down.
