Is there a name or phrase for a bribe or payoff to have someone stop making

defamatory statements about you? For example, if a guy, perhaps with a large public presence, was making a bad statement about say, "PB oil company" for a large oil spill in the "pacific ocean" and the way they handled the spill and the company gave said person a large sum of money to quickly STFU, would this payoff have a specific name? What is that name?
