Senator Marco Rubio is urging Donald Trump to quit focusing on Hillary Clinton's hacked emails.

Unlike the Republican candidate, who has used the several email dumps released by Wikileaks to fuel his campaign against Clinton, Rubio told ABC News he refuses to talk about information contained in the emails.

Rubio offered a warning to fellow Republicans who continue drawing attention to the emails, saying, "Today it is the Democrats. Tomorrow it could be us."

Trump has largely focused on the emails in his campaign by claiming that they are not being factored into this election enough and, indeed, being ignored by the media.

During the second presidential debate, Trump deflected questions about vulgar comments he made towards women by using a large part of the evening to hammer Clinton over roughly 30,000 emails deleted from her private server.

In the past Trump has gone so far as to suggest the Wikileaks prove Clinton is unfit for office. And at a Colorado rally on Tuesday he referred to the insight they provided as "unbelievable."

Rubio told ABC 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."

It was recently discovered that several email servers linked to Trump's hotel and his other businesses are using outdated software with no security patches, so Trump might be wise to heed Rubio's warning.
