President Trump's treason comment was a joke, says White House.

In our news wrap Tuesday, the White House says President Trump was joking when he suggested it might have been treasonous for Democrats not to applaud his State of the Union speech. Some Republicans joined Democrats in objecting to the president's words. Also, the Turkish president aimed a new warning at U.S. troops in Syria, telling them to leave Manbij.
