He was then elected prosecuting attorney of Lincoln County, Missouri, serving from 1951 to 1956.
One of the most significant findings by Hungate in the St. Louis desegregation case was, with respect to school segregation in St. Louis City and County, the "State of Missouri, which prior to 1954 mandated school segregation, never took any effective steps to dismantle the dual system it had compelled by constitution, statutory law, practice and policy."

From 1958 to 1964, he served as a Missouri Special Assistant Attorney General.

In 1969, he was awarded a Doctor of Jurisprudence degree from Harvard Law School.
He participated in the 1974 impeachment process against Richard Nixon, and sponsored the second article of impeachment against Nixon charging him with abuse of power.
Later that same year, as chairman of the Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on criminal justice, he led the congressional review of the presidential pardon of Nixon by Nixon's successor, Gerald Ford.
Lamenting that politics had gone "from the age of Camelot, where all things were possible, to the age of Watergate, when all things were suspect," Hungate chose not to run for re-election to the 95th Congress in 1976.
He was reelected to the five succeeding Congresses, serving until January 3, 1977.

denied'', 454 U.S. 1081 (1981).
