contents This note establishes that if a sequence $P_n, n=1,\ldots$ of probability measures converges in total variation to the limiting probability measure $P$, and $σ$-algebras $\mathbb{A}$ and $\mathbb{B}$ are conditionally independent given $\mathbb{H}$ with respect to $P_n$ for all $n$, then they are also conditionally independent with respect to the limiting measure $P$. As a corollary, this also extends to pointwise convergence of densities to a density.
