L is the laplacian matrix of an undirected graph, D is a diagonal matrix. What does the cofactor of L+D looks like?

We know that any cofactor of the Laplacian matrix is equal to the number of spanning tree; and thus constant. The proof that I have seen doesn't seem to tell me how the cofactors would change if I just add a diagonal matrix to the Laplacian matrix.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
