President Biden says the American-Israeli dual national citizen released from Gaza on Wednesday is "safe." Biden told reporters as he was boarding Air Force One to head home from Colorado that she was safe in Egypt, and that he spoke with her mother and father. She was one of 16 hostages released from Gaza Wednesday, ten of which were released in exchange for 30 Palestinian prisoners before the truce between Israel and Hamas is set to expire.        Secretary of State Antony Blinken will return to Israel and the West Bank this week with the goal of extending a temporary ceasefire in Gaza. While speaking from NATO's headquarters in Brussels today, Blinken said extending the pause will allow more hostages to get out and more humanitarian aid to get into the Gaza Strip. It will be Blinken's third trip to the region since Hamas launched a brutal attack on Israel in early October.        House Republicans are ramping up their impeachment inquiry into President Biden. Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer told reporters today several committees will interview members of the Biden family and their associates over the next few months. He said he'd welcome Hunter Biden to testify publicly at a future date.        Paul Whelan's brother says the detainee was attacked by another inmate at a Russian prison labor camp. David Whelan wrote to The Hill in an email that his brother was working at a sewing table when a prisoner blocked the production line, and attacked Whelan when he asked him to move. The other prisoner hit Whelan in the face and broke his glasses.        Gasoline prices have dropped for 61 consecutive days across the United States.
