Multiple tier1/tier2 sources (NPR, CBS, NYT, Deadline, Iowa Public Radio, AP) report that Maria Bartiromo hosted Sidney Powell on Fox's Sunday Morning Futures around November 8, 2020 and discussed Dominion software and voting irregularities, which matches the claim; the scripted exchange quoted in CBS and Deadline confirms the Dominion-software framing.
What was said
… She she at least has a nose for news. Ah, and she want that's her North Star, is it's news. The president saying, We got cover it. That happens to be that she believes the nonsense. Alright let's watch some of the greatest hits from her. Sydney, we talked about the Dominion software. I know that there were voting irregularities. Tell me about that. I spoke with one source high up in the intel community, and he said this, Alan. He said Trump did win. There was election fraud.

Bulwark Takes · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. CBS News and Deadline quote Bartiromo asking Powell, 'Sidney, we talked about the Dominion software. I know that there were voting irregularities. Tell me about that,' in an interview with Powell.[3][6]
Supports. NPR and the NYT report that Bartiromo hosted Powell on her Fox show the day after receiving Powell's memo, and Iowa Public Radio and Media Matters place the interview in November 2020.[4][5][7][8]
Supports. AP's court-filings coverage notes that Powell and Bartiromo corresponded about Dominion and that a Powell interview with Bartiromo was referenced in exhibits.[1]
Context. Sources also state that the Dominion allegations Powell made on the show were false and debunked, and that Bartiromo later said the source's email was 'not evidence'; this bears on the content, not on whether the interview took place.[2][3][7]
