Matt Drudge, the founder and editor of the influential site DrudgeReport.com, has hired Daniel Halper, two sources familiar with the move confirmed to POLITICO.

Halper was most recently Washington bureau chief of The New York Post, a position he held for just under a year. Halper was previously online editor at the conservative magazine The Weekly Standard and in 2014 published the book "Clinton Inc." It was not immediately clear what his new position will be at The Drudge Report.

Halper quietly left the Post earlier this month and was replaced by Gabby Morrongiello, who joined from the Washington Examiner.

It's not the first time a former D.C. bureau chief for the Post joined Drudge. In 2011, Drudge hired Charlies Hurt, a Washington Times columnist and former D.C. bureau chief for the Post.

Drudge and Halper did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
