The New York Times is beefing up its White House coverage with two additions: POLITICO's Glenn Thrush and current Times Jerusalem Bureau Chief Peter Baker, the Times' Washington Bureau Chief Elisabeth Bumiller announced on Monday.

Thrush, POLITICO's chief political correspondent, will report on the White House for the Times starting after the new year. Baker will return from Jerusalem, where he was bureau chief for less than a year.

Thrush and Baker will be joined by Julie Davis, Mark Landler, Mike Shear and Maggie Haberman. Haberman will be based out of New York, covering what has become known as "White House North," with President-elect Donald Trump spending so much time at Trump Tower.

Susan Glasser, POLITICO's chief international affairs columnist and director of editorial innovation (and its former editor), who is married to Baker, will also return stateside.
