Speaking at a news conference Thursday, the Democrat said he couldn't say for sure how many more women might come forward.

"There are a few. I don't have a specific number for you," Weiner said.

Pressed to provide a guess as to how many online relationships occurred after his resignation, Weiner said, "I don't believe I had any more than three."

Weiner has continued to argue against calls for him to withdraw from his campaign, claiming that whether or not he should be considered trustworthy should be left in the hands of the voters.
