Did Jesus wash Judah's feet?

Yes, John 13:
2 During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him, 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God, 4rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist. 5 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
No exception was mentioned. Jesus washed Judas' feet.

Why?

Jesus said:
14 "If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you."
Jesus washed his disciples' feet to demonstrate a lesson in humility and kindness. His kindness allowed him to wash his betrayer's feet. Judas did not get this. Later, Peter would deny Jesus. All the disciples would desert him. Jesus would humble himself to die on the Cross.
