Maureen Orth Opens Up On Tim Russert's Death, Their Final Embrace: "I Just Had A Feeling" I'd Never See Him Again

"I said to him, 'I want to give you a hug; maybe I'll never see you again,' " says journalist Maureen Orth, 65, speaking publicly about her husband for the first time since his June 13 passing - the day after he left Italy. "I don't know why I said that to him. I just had a feeling."
