Secretary of State Antony Blinken faced at least one question he was not expecting when he appeared before Congress on Monday to discuss Afghanistan: Had he handed over documents about Hunter Biden and his dealings in Ukraine to the FBI?

Republican Rep. Scott Perry used his five minutes of time to quiz the nation's top diplomat on what he knew about an investigation into the president's wayward son.

Perry had begun by asking about the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan - the subject of the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee hearing - before changing tack.

'How long was your recent interview with the FBI? Was it a deposition?'

Blinken responded: 'I'm sorry I don't know to what you're referring.'
