Weiss did not say the scope of his investigation was unlimited. Please stop making shit up. That's Fox News' job.
It appears the scope of Weiss' investigation when assigned by Bill Barr was to look into financial crimes, particularly involving Joe Biden. Having found none, he settled for tax and gun crimes by Hunter when he was an addict, which were discovered in the course of Weiss' investigation into financial crimes. Weiss basically continued that when he was appointed Special Counsel.
Every Special Counsel who is appointed is given a "scope memo" that lays out the scope of his appointment. Attorney General Merrick Garland tapped David Weiss to review whether Hunter Biden violated federal tax and gun laws. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-special-counsels-work-with-independence-spotlight-2023-08-14/
