Former Congressman Anthony Weiner put the world on notice Wednesday: More women might step forward to say he sent them inappropriate texts and pictures.
Weiner has spent the past two weeks exploring a run for mayor after two years of self-imposed exile due to his sexting scandal.
But he gave two television interviews Wednesday that raised more questions than they answered.

In an interview with Dominic Carter on RNN, a regional news channel, Weiner said he could not rule out that more women might turn up.
“If reporters want to go try to find more, I can't say that they're not going to be able to find another picture or find another ... person,” he said.
“The basics of the story are not going to change."

And in an interview with Dave Evans on WABC-TV, Weiner dodged a question about how many women he'd sent inappropriate texts to.
When asked if it was six, he laughed nervously and shrugged.
“Six is …” he said, before pausing. “It’s not 20 and it’s not 100.”

“I did it, with more than one person. It was wrong. I was doing it for some time, and I’m glad it’s behind me.”
At another point, he suggested that he didn't really remember.
“I have tried to unpack every possible imaginable detail with my wife and trying to talk it through and explain exactly what I remembered and what I did. But I can say this, the basic elements, the stuff in public, is true.”

Weiner stepped down from Congress in the summer of 2011 after he accidentally tweeted a crotch shot and then denied that the bulging briefs in the picture were his.
He eventually confessed after a half-dozen women came forward to say that he had been sexting with them.
Just days ago, he returned to Twitter having stayed off it since the scandal.

In the WABC interview, Weiner said, “Twitter didn’t do this to me, Facebook didn’t do this to me. None of those poor people whose lives have been turned upside down did this to me. I did this to me.”
Despite his history, he will continue to tweet.
The social media site “can be a real tool to help governance and I'm not going to let that tool go unused,” he said.

He said that he’s missed Congress twice since he resigned his seat — when Hurricane Sandy hit and when several members circulated a letter falsely suggesting that his wife, Huma Abedin, might be linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, a militant Islamic group.
Weiner acknowledged that time is running out on whether to enter the mayoral race.
“I’ve got to decide soon. It’s got to be a matter of days or weeks,” he told WABC.
“It can’t be a matter of months.”
