Let ${X_1,X_2,\dots}$ be a sequence of scalar random variables converging in probability to another random variable ${X}$. Suppose that there is a random variable ${Y}$ which is independent of ${X_i}$ for each individual ${i}$. Show that ${Y}$ is also independent of ${X}$.
By splitting into real and imaginary parts, we may assume without loss of generality that the $X_i$ and $X$ are real-valued. As
$$ \displaystyle {\bf P}(X \leq t \wedge Y \in S) = {\bf P}((|X-X_i|>\varepsilon \wedge X \leq t)) \wedge Y \in S) + {\bf P}((|X-X_i| \leq \varepsilon \wedge X \leq t)) \wedge Y \in S) $$
and the first term on the RHS tends to zero for large $i$, my crude first impression was to approximate the second term on the RHS by ${\bf P}(X_i \leq t \wedge Y \in S) = {\bf P}(X_i \leq t){\bf P}(Y \in S)$, and then the claim follows if one can show that ${\bf P}(X_i \leq t)$ approximates ${\bf P}(X \leq t)$.
Yet I struggles a bit to ground all these on a rigorous base, some helps or even a completely different approach will be appreciated.
