Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida is warning his fellow Republicans not to talk about the Wikileaks dump of emails stolen from Hillary Clinton's campaign chair John Podesta, breaking with the example set by Donald Trump.

"I will not discuss any issue that has become public solely on the basis of Wikileaks," said Rubio in a statement to NBC News. "As our intelligence agencies have said, these leaks are an effort by a foreign government to interfere with our electoral process and I will not indulge it."

Though he did not mention the Republican nominee by name, Rubio is clearly departing from his former rival on the issue. Trump has repeatedly brought up the Wikileaks' hack, accusing the media of ignoring the stolen emails in an effort to protect Clinton.

"The press has created a rigged system and poisoned the minds of the voters, many of the voters," Trump said Tuesday at a Colorado rally. "They've rigged it from the beginning by telling totally false stories, most recently about phony allegations where I've been under attack constantly, instead of covering Wikileaks and all of those things."

Rubio, however, has a different view on how to approach Wikileaks: don't.

"I want to warn my fellow Republicans who may want to capitalize politically on these leaks," he said. "Today it is the Democrats. Tomorrow it could be us."
