Trump is one shrewd dude. He let Giuliani and Powell do all the dirty work.
Why shouldn't Dominion have a cause of action against the two? They may have destroyed Dominion's ability to sell its product in the USA with their baseless accusations. If Trump were in a similar position as Dominion is now, he'd sure as hell sue.

Texas Rejected Use of Dominion Voting System Software Due to Efficiency Issues

The report of review for the latest software, “Democracy Suite 5.5-A,” by Deputy Secretary of State Jose Esparza states, “Specifically, the examiner reports raise concerns about whether the Democracy Suite 5.5-A system is suitable for its intended purpose; operates efficiently and accurately; and is safe from fraudulent or unauthorized manipulation.”

Trump: The machines were "turned down by Texas and many others because they were not good or secure."
Verdict: It's true that Texas did not provide certification for the machines. Their approach is different to other states.
The US federal government provides guidelines for certifying voting machines - which is meant to produce a common standard across the country.
However, Texas
has stipulated additional requirements, which the Dominion machines are unable to satisfy,
such as that each ballot has a unique number so it can be traced.
Not all states put these unique numbers on ballots, such as California, because of concerns over voter privacy.
"If you forbid these unique numbers you create a stronger privacy guarantee for the voter. On the flipside, you are compromising a modest security measure," says Dan Wallach, a computer scientist at Rice University in Texas, and an advisor on national guidelines for voting machines.

Ranking Members Klobuchar, Warner, Reed, and Peters Press Election Equipment Manufacturers on Security
March 27, 2019 <= note the date a little over a year before the 2020 election
Intelligence Agencies have confirmed that our election systems are a target for foreign adversaries, yet election vendors continue to sell equipment with known vulnerabilities
The Ranking Members of the Senate Rules, Intelligence, Armed Services, and Homeland Security Committees are requesting information about the security of voting systems
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Ranking Member of the Senate Rules Committee with oversight jurisdiction over federal elections, sent a letter to the country’s three largest election system vendors with questions to help inform the best way to move forward to strengthen the security of our voting machines. In the U.S., the three largest election equipment vendors—Election Systems & Software, LLC; Dominion Voting Systems, Inc.; and Hart InterCivic, Inc.—provide the voting machines and software used by ninety-two percent of the eligible voting population. However, voting and cybersecurity experts have begun to call attention to the lack of competition in the election vendor marketplace and the need for scrutiny by regulators as these vendors continue to produce poor technology, like machines that lack paper ballots or auditability.
