Daniel Halper is an American political writer. He previously served as the online editor of the now-defunct neoconservative magazine The Weekly Standard until a management change at that publication in 2016, and from 2016 to 2017 was employed by the New York Post. He authored Clinton, Inc.: The Audacious Rebuilding of a Political Machine, an unflattering 2014 biography of the Clinton family. In 2017, he became an editor for the Drudge Report, replacing Joseph Curl. His hiring coincided with the Drudge family's retreat from the public sphere and may have been a factor in the Report having a substantial change in editorial direction. In June 2020, he published the book "A Convenient Death: The Mysterious Demise of Jeffrey Epstein" together with Alana Goodman.
