Mark Landler, Mike Shear, Julie Davis and Maggie Haberman have been doing a sensational job breaking stories, covering 6 a.m. tweets and staying ahead of the relentless news on the transition beat.

On January 20 , they’ll officially become our stellar Trump White House team, along with two terrific additions: Peter Baker, who is returning to Washington from Jerusalem, and Glenn Thrush, who is joining us from Politico.

Peter needs no introduction and Glenn is a friend to many of you. But here goes:

Peter, The Times’ Jerusalem Bureau Chief, covered the Obama White House for The Times and the George W. Bush and Clinton White Houses for The Washington Post ― a total of 15 years on the beat. In between he spent four years in Moscow for The Post covering the rise of Vladimir Putin and the early months of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He’s written books on the Clinton impeachment and George W. Bush’s presidency, and has one coming out in May on the Obama presidency.

Glenn, Politico’s chief political correspondent and a senior staff writer for Politico Magazine, was previously Politico’s main White House correspondent. He’s a master of breaking news and long-form storytelling, but may be best known for his fedora, which Politico editors enshrined as part of the logo for Off Message, his successful podcast. His writing has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The Washington Post, The Village Voice and Guitar World, where he wrote under the pseudonym Glenn Thrash. He’s a native of Brooklyn, a graduate of Brooklyn College and managed his parents’ ice cream store in Brighton Beach.

Mark, an Obama White House reporter and the author of “Alter Egos,’’ about Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, will be based in Washington along with Peter, Glenn and Mike and Julie, who have expertly covered the second-term Obama White House for us. Maggie, who covered the 2016 presidential race from deep inside the Clinton and Trump campaigns and has been responsible for daily scoops and tireless reporting during the transition, will be based in New York to cover the White House north and the doings at Trump Tower.

Glenn will start in the bureau on Jan. 3 and Peter soon after.

The Trump White House is going to be an extraordinary story and we’re thrilled to have such an extraordinary team covering it.

Elisabeth and Bill
