The hypothesis says that the difference between the augmented statistic and the corresponding Dickey-Fuller statistic converges to zero in probability. The Dickey-Fuller statistic is assumed to converge in distribution to $L_D$. Slutsky's theorem then gives convergence in distribution of the sum $\tau_T^{\mathrm{DF}}(D)+(\tau_T^{\mathrm{ADF}}(D)-\tau_T^{\mathrm{DF}}(D))$ to $L_D+0=L_D$.

[step:Decompose the augmented statistic into a known limit plus a negligible error]For each $T$, write
\begin{align*}
R_T=\tau_T^{\mathrm{ADF}}(D)-\tau_T^{\mathrm{DF}}(D).
\end{align*}
By assumption,
\begin{align*}
R_T\xrightarrow{p}0.
\end{align*}
Also by assumption,
\begin{align*}
\tau_T^{\mathrm{DF}}(D)\Rightarrow L_D.
\end{align*}
The augmented statistic can therefore be written as
\begin{align*}
\tau_T^{\mathrm{ADF}}(D)=\tau_T^{\mathrm{DF}}(D)+R_T.
\end{align*}[/step]

[guided]The statement separates the hard time-series work from the limiting-distribution transfer. The hard work is the assumption
\begin{align*}
\tau_T^{\mathrm{ADF}}(D)-\tau_T^{\mathrm{DF}}(D)\xrightarrow{p}0,
\end{align*}
which says that the augmentation changes the statistic by an asymptotically negligible amount. Naming this difference as
\begin{align*}
R_T=\tau_T^{\mathrm{ADF}}(D)-\tau_T^{\mathrm{DF}}(D)
\end{align*}
gives $R_T\xrightarrow{p}0$. The other input is
\begin{align*}
\tau_T^{\mathrm{DF}}(D)\Rightarrow L_D.
\end{align*}
Since
\begin{align*}
\tau_T^{\mathrm{ADF}}(D)=\tau_T^{\mathrm{DF}}(D)+R_T,
\end{align*}
the augmented statistic is the Dickey-Fuller statistic plus a term vanishing in probability.[/guided]

[step:Apply Slutsky's theorem]
Slutsky's theorem says that if $A_T\Rightarrow A$ and $B_T\xrightarrow{p}b$ for a constant $b$, then $A_T+B_T\Rightarrow A+b$. Apply this with
\begin{align*}
A_T=\tau_T^{\mathrm{DF}}(D),\qquad A=L_D,\qquad B_T=R_T,\qquad b=0.
\end{align*}
It follows that
\begin{align*}
\tau_T^{\mathrm{DF}}(D)+R_T\Rightarrow L_D.
\end{align*}
Using the identity from the previous step,
\begin{align*}
\tau_T^{\mathrm{ADF}}(D)\Rightarrow L_D.
\end{align*}
This is exactly the assertion that the augmented Dickey-Fuller statistic has the same limiting distribution as the Dickey-Fuller statistic for the deterministic specification $D$.
